Operation Lipstick - Cheng Pei-pei (1967) - Clearwater Bay Road, Sai Kung

In a scene following the discovery of the statuette contains the microfilm, the main characters head back into town to inform the police. Their car is stopped at a junction between two roads.

This scene was filmed at the junction between Clearwater Bay Road and Hiram's Highway. This area now has multiple lanes criss-crossing each other but, as you can see, back in the mid-60s (and later) it was a simple T junction with Clearwater Bay Road heading off to the left and Hiram's Highway curving down the slope towards Sai Kung. It looks like there was a roundabout here but that was just a grass island separating the up and downhill lanes of Hiram's Highway.
