The 1966 movie "The Golden Gun 金手槍" was showing.

The movie was showing end of 1966 to beginning of 1967. A 1967 newspaper advertisement confirmed Kam Kwok theatre was showing the movie:
According to hkmemory.hk, the address was rather 4639 section of Junction road九龍橫頭磡聯合道4639地段 whatever that means. But the 1971 map seems showing the theatre at the south-east corner at the junction road-Heng Lam road junction. And the building on the left side of the above picture looks like a block of the Lo Fu Ngam Resettlement Area assuming the theatre was facing the junction road.
A 1970s picture showing the same area with the bus stop in front. bus 103 was going to Pokfield Rd . The Lo Fu Ngam Resettlement on the left side. There was a second floor kindergarden called ai wah kindergarden or 愛華幼稚園 at 176 junction road. The google map still show that kindergarden which has since closed down.
