Hong Kong Confidential - Gene Barry (1958) - Centre Street, Sai Ying Pun

Next up for Hong Kong Confidential is a shot looking up Centre Street in Sai Ying Pun. It took a while to be sure but to the eagle-eyed there are several common features between this screencap and a 1920s/30s era image that can be found on Gwulo.com including the buildings at the very top of the road- which are quite blurry in the image from the film. I can't be sure when those buildings were redeveloped but pretty certain they had gone by the late 1950s when the film was made.
