The Chartered Bank - from "The World of Suzie Wong"

If you look closely you can see the stonework of the HSBC building at far left. The scene is a panning shot that starts with Leg Co and HSBC in the background (latter at a very oblique angle though) and ends as shown here. The film was shot in 1960.
