My Three Sons - Fred MacMurray (1965) - Repulse Bay Road
The family are staying with one of their dad's colleagues and the establishing shot for these scenes is an upward shot towards some properties that used to stand on Repulse Bay Road. The lower building in the image is the previous version of a property that was located at 16 Repulse Bay Road. The two properties above are the old properties of 25 (on the right with the curved verandah) and 27 Repulse Bay Road. Fortuna Court and Royal Garden developments now occupy these sites (respectively). It's a shame the picture quality is so poor because I've never seen images of these upper properties before. I think the camera must have been positioned down on Island Road in front of the golf course.

Nice find, Phil. I have never seen these properties on film either and I am always on the lookout for old Repulse Bay mansions. Fred MacMurray was one of the shrewdest and richest men in Hollywood. I am surprised he didn't buy one of these houses on the spot.
I do remember seeing the current version of No. 16, not on film, but in a gossipy magazine shortly after it was built. The occupational permit is November 1998.
Hi Rodney, this one took a while but I got there in the end. It's just a shame the picture quality isn't very good. The other locations in the show were a bit meh so I probably wouldn't have posted about it without this image being identified.
