The Seventh Sin - Eleanor Parker (1957) - Aberdeen Harbour

The next location appears during the opening credits only and it's a view from Shek Pai Wan Road across the western entrance to Aberdeen Harbour towards Lamma Island in the distance. Before all the redevelopment and reclamation in the area changed everything, there used to be a layby on the Shek Pai Wan Road, just to the north of where the Dairy Farm cold storage facility is now located. The angle of view from this layby - how Magazine Island lines up with Lamma in the background - matches the view we can see below so I think whoever was responsible for the HK footage in this film just pulled over in a car and set up the camera at the side of the road. The layby has long gone thanks to the widening of the road. There's a similar view, but not quite from the exact same location, in Kill a Dragon



Once again the Google location marker is messing me around and refuses to be placed where I want it to be, so if you click on the location marker below you have to imagine the location as being on the main Shek Pai Wan Road, directly north of the west side of the cold storage facility.
