Love in Hong Kong - Pauline Teutscher (1983) - Man Cheong Street, Yau Ma Tei

A big thanks to Dave in TST for letting me know and providing me with this next title. Just when I think that the "HK-shot semi-erotic" film genre has been exhausted (I've already covered Emmanuelle: L'antivierge, Black Cobra Woman, Vanessa, Felicity, Les Fruits de La Passion, Love Circles and La Fine Dell'innocenza, so nothing is below my "locations" purview) another pops up out of the blue, so to speak. It's a good job because there are a couple of new locations here that make it worthwhile.

I'm not sure why Pauline Teutscher doesn't get top billing seeing as she is the main character in the film. She plays a journalist, Julie, who has been tasked by her boss to help stimulate the circulation of their newspaper by getting hold of something that will sell papers. For the film this means getting her two mates to Hong Kong and then getting them snapped in compromising positions with a variety of men.

The film starts with Julie standing on Man Cheong Road, in front of the Ferry Point Estate, getting hold of a scoop about some collapsing buildings. In the background is the old typhoon shelter - before it was completely reclaimed - and across the water you can just make out the Yau Ma Tei Police Station and buildings beyond.
