The Merry Wife - Li Ching (1971) - View from Estoril Court, Central
We get treated to an old view of Central from the vantage point of the couples' apartment in Estoril Court. The only way you could get a view from Estoril Court these days is from being on one of the top floors - views come with a premium these days. This sequence below is a panning shot from east to west as Zhenzhen surveys the view and then sees Lin Min coming down Robinson Road on his way home.

Got the dreaded failed to publish error a few times lately.
Nice to see the old Estoril Court on film. When it was built in the 1950s, it was developed by the then General Manager of Hang Seng Bank and leased to the government as quarters. I think by the time of this film, it was no longer government staff only that could lease a flat here.
Hi Rodney, there're some really great lost views in these 60/70s era Shaw movies, so I intend to do as many as I can. I have no idea what the deal is with Blogger comments, got another friend who says he has a lot of issues posting comments as well. No clue what the problem is. Phil
