Erotic Journey: Love Affair in Hong Kong - Hirokazu Inoue (1973) - Des Voeux Road Central

Sumio (Hirokazu Inoue) wanders around Hong Kong looking for his estranged wife and eventually goes into his company's office - located in the old Gloucester Building on the corner of Des Voeux Road Central and Pedder Street. The building was demolished in the late 80s and Gloucester Tower now stands on the site. During its time, the Gloucester Buiding was quite a highly recognisable landmark because of the clocktower on the roof.

The bottom images are from later in the film as Sumio's sister-in-law tries to convince him to return to Japan. He wanders off in front of the Gloucester Building and walks past the old Alexandra House.
