Flight to Hong Kong - Rory Calhoun (1956) - International Funeral Parlour, Lockhart Road

I'm not sure if the funeral parlour was officially on Lockhart Road or Fenwick Street because it appears the main entrance was bang on the NW corner of the junction. I did add this screengrab to Gwulo a while back and some helpful comments have been added to the Gwulo page. The parlour was later replaced by the East Town Theatre and now the East Town Building. 
  

The film crew also shot some scenery of Lockhart Road as well by just turning the camera a little to the right at the junction. The view down Lockhart Road shows a section of the funeral parlour wall on the left before the columns of the tenements start. This was used for a back projected scene whereby Mama Lin (Soo Yong) reports someone following her to a traffic pagoda policeman (played by James Hong!).
