The car stops just past the Govt pier and "Carol" walks to the waterfront.
Of course, this was a stand-in for Eleanor Parker, who wasn't in HK.
This next shot uses back projection as Eleanor Parker turns to camera.
Following the boarding of their transport, the next bit of footage shows the boat as it pulls away from the waterfront. This is still the area between the old Govt pier (behind camera) and the longer "Custodian Wharf" that can be seen in the background. This was once the Osaka Shosen Kaisha pier but, I believe, was taken into possession by the HK Govt following the defeat of Japan in WW2.
We finish with a final shot of Carol (Eleanor Parker) on board the boat transport as she ponders her life. Again, Parker wasn't in Hong Kong and this was a back projected studio scene. The big building behind Parker's head was the Central Fire Station.
