Narazumono - Ken Takakura (1964) - Nathan Road, Kowloon

After winning his prize, Minami heads over to Nathan Road with his bags of goodies. In fact, this is the section of Nathan Road in front of the Alhambra building. Before the West Kowloon Corridor flyover was built, Gascoigne Road intersected with Nathan Road via a traffic island and that is where Minami is subsequently stopped by a mysterious Japanese woman. As she engages him in conversation we are given a few glimpses of the surrounding area including the previously mentioned Alhambra Building (top image), the former Yau Ma Tei Govt School (second image), the Methodist Church with its minimalist spire (third), and (lastly) the Methodist College with its zig zag roof design.

Heisser Hafen Hongkong - Horst Frank (1962) - Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei

Another shot along Nathan Road, this time we are at the junction of Nathan and Public Square Street. The identifier in this shot is the brown building with the balcony to the left of the first picture. It turns out that this was the former Yau Ma Tei Government School and Richard Wong has a few pictures of it on his FLICKR page.

Interestingly, it looks as though part of the space once occupied by the school playground was never redeveloped and simply left as a...playground! It looks as though the school's wall stayed in-situ until at least the late 1990's despite the rest of the building disappearing sometime in the mid-70's. I suspect the phone booth was a prop but if anyone knows differently then feel free to comment.
