Red Dragon - Stewart Granger (1965) - 38 Island Road, Deep Water Bay

Following on from my last post for Die Jungen Tiger von Hongkong, here is the same property ("Merachiaro") used a few years earlier for Stewart Granger's foray into German-produced thrillers. At the time I couldn't pinpoit the property but after looking at the more detailed online maps courtesy of the geoinfo map, the building shape (and that distinctive exterior covered walkway) are quite obvious. Google isn't so useful as it lacks the same detail. Never mind, it's nice to know such an old property is still around and looks really nice. If you own this property then you are no doubt already loaded, but can now add the additional boast that Stewart Granger has been to your house - albeit in 1965.

Die Jungen Tiger von Hongkong - Robert Woods (1969) - 38 Island Road, Deep Water Bay

The main bad guy in the film, who also happens to be the father of one of the idle youths getting into trouble with the police, lives in a rather splendid property on the Deep Water Bay coastline. After a bit of digging around (plus some looking back at Stewart Granger's Red Dragon that used the same property) it looks as though the building is still around and stands at 38 Island Road. The house is called "Marechiaro". The build date for this house is 1945, which means it is actually pre-war as many records were lost/destroyed during the Japanese occupation and 1945 is given as the default date for anything pre-war.
