First Scene: 2 male actors in sports car fetching girl

They are speaking in Cantonese

Probably Siglap area as can see St .Stephens Primary school in the foreground

2nd Scene: Buying coconut drink

Could it be Frankel road?

How beautiful and clean Singapore was! Compared to the current mess.

Looks like Katong area, plus Botanic Garden and Under the Five Trees.

Yes, this was before all the keep singapore clean campaigns!! But then if they showed china town in the 60s, it could be quite dirty.

1969...Meaning 4 years after we break away from Malaysia.. it doesn't look like a fishing village to me to me.

Here are some old Singapore footage in 1972, from an old Taiwanese movie. Singapore was so clean and beautiful then. Watch from 1 min onwards.

I think Siglap too and strangely they use the word HALT instead of STOP and the best part - the road is so empty that he drives on the wrong side at the start of clip and and of course the car is a Triump and Opel Rekord (I think so) Nice nostalgic view

[Maskedrider]

The actor sound like 四哥in the 难兄难弟drama

 

[Volvobrick]

Original Little Nonya!

I just love the nostalgic Olden days in Singapore.

Thanks TS and others to post the clips showing that Spore was once the capital of the Orient Movie world.
