1950s Hong Kong Streets Day and Night, Rare 16mm Colour Home Movies
at 0:36 you can see a blue sign saying "Tailor Cheung", that's the suit shop of Cheung Wut Hoi, Leslie Cheung's father. Leslie then became one of the biggest stars of HK in the 80s. I find it so cool that you can trace so much history in this video.
that's very cool. I probably wouldn't have realised that had you not pointed it out.
amazing, such cool trivia
damn, really small world. great catch
What a visual treat! Can't be many such clips that survived 70 yrs that are 16mm and in color! Fascinating!
I was born there in the year 1940 during the second world war. I can still remember everything in this video about the year 1950. I was only ten years old. To remember is to live!
nice to hear from you..
Me too @@raintelefilm
You may not have memories of the three years and eight months of hardship there from Christmas day 1941 to August 30 1945.
Hi Ricardo how are you ? I remember and
saw you on TV channel from RTHK (Mexican story), wish you have good health 🤗
Are you born in hong kong?
People in this video were mostly passed away already. Very precious, thanks.
A wonderful glimpse of the past, some parts of it still remain to this day. How nice the way people dressed in the 50s.
Far too much doesn't remain unfortunately. I do love HK today but it's a shame they knocked down so much of the colonial architecture.
@@N330AA I agree that a lot of those lovely old buildings should have been preserved. Singapore have done very well on that front. Keeping the facade and bringing new purposes to the old buildings, turning into museums, hotels etc.
@@wongfrancis The best place is Penang. A wonderful city.
@@N330AA that I also agree. I have also seen how well old structures were preseved in Colombo (Sri Lanka) and Medan Indonesia.
The carpark is almost the same.
How confident and authoritative mannerism the corporal constable looks and his courtesy smile to the cameraman!
A little before my time. I remember the old police uniform, the traffic police , and of course the rickshaw.
what a very precious video to me. I did not have such clearer idea about the HK of 1950s before. Info in the past were only texts, photos, or B/W videos. thank you. is it possible to have such clearer videos of 1940s too. how were those soldiers and civilians of that time actually. looking forward to anything great. anything is possible.
Amazing footage!
The cop boots look the most expensive equipment throughout his full gears
They are not boots ,it is legging.
Looked more like Singapore back then, beautiful.
It's refreshing to see none of the townsfolk scrolling on smart phones, not even office workers in coat and tie. Today's urban scenario will have many engrossed in their phones even when walking.
The policemen looked great in their uniforms. The rickshaws were a common transportation if you carried heavy stuff. Hiring a taxi was quite expensive.
Yeah,and the policeman had their own pedestal to stand in the middle of traffic to direct traffic.i find that kind of interesting.
This looks like the centre of Dublin nowadays.
1950 color film ??

1:15 Harilela's Tailors & Woolings .
Almost everybody in this video must be dust & bones by 2021! An era of orderly good citizens!
❤🙋♀️
0:35 是蘭桂坊嗎
Loads of British cars there. Now, they are only Japanese and German.
only few years before the brutal war ....wowwwww
this was well after the war (50s, not 40s)
1937 the Nanjing massacre , 1950s is only 13 years after , most were still alive
It was after the war in the early 1950's.Someone uploaded a colour 1940's film of Hong Kong in 1940 before.Now I cannot find it anymore.
警察穿短褲的年代
外觀上，香港的警察從來都比澳門的警察執得正得多。那時散仔有一柴兩柴三柴之分。
tbh it look the same as 50s malaysia...or i should says The british colonial cultures
路人有很多還穿唐裝衫褲，幾舒服下。
No one thought Hong Kong could replace shanghai in the 1950s and shanghai was much better than Hong Kong that time. So some Shanghainese who moved to hong Kong came back to shanghai in 1950s or early 1960s but ..........., you know the story in the late 1960s.
I'm from Hong Kong and I met my best friend from boarding school in the UK. Her family is shanghainese but she was born in hk but moved to shanghai when she was 2.
Daydream of a lunatic!
痴人說夢！
Make it make sense
Also no one in 1990's forsaw Shanghai will come back. Today Shanghai may not be better but that date will soon come.
where is bruce lee
He was a brilliant child actor in those days in some old Hong Kong Cantonese movies.
Bruce Lee was in the local Hong Kong film industry as a teenage actor.
中國人的天堂 公石
本片第3分42秒，有个深色裙的女孩，时至今日如果她还有命，估计90岁往外了吧？
MADE IN CHINA.
Daydream of a lunatic!
Hk. Go back mainlander
