The World of Suzie Wong (1960)

Filmed in 1960 and starring William Holden and Nancy Kwan, the story (based on the 1957 book by Richard Mason) tells us about Robert Lomax, an American Architect, who has thrown it all in and moved to HK to pursue a living as a painter. He falls in love with a local prostitute who frequents the hotel he has dossed down in.

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.
