(love that palm frond font - why was that not used more often in Polynesian pop?) I was just shown another poster design that had a very sexy wahine on it, probably from the 1948 re-release -but no Tiki! Wonder were they got this one from. Here's some TABU trivia: "Murnau visited Tahiti in May 1929 and was joined by Flaherty a month later to scout for locations in the nearby island of Bora Bora. While scouting they found their leading lady Anna Chevalier (Reri) in a local cocktail bar."
