I also go with your answer....but should be called Victoria Street back then......the original Bugis Street is at where Bugis Junction now stands. Back then very happening and haunt of sailors.

the thing is there are no houses there but stair cases there. They do the business on the 2nd floor. also the middle area is where the taxi is driving thru, i don't think u could drive your car through even in the 70s, btw they showed desker in the 70s and it looked exactly like it does today cept fewer stalls outside.
