It opened in 1961, and this movie was released in 1963, which means it was filmed in 1962 or early 1963. The seller puts the photo at 1961-1962. So Kahiki is a definite possiblity, especially if they used this pic to advertise the place (I have never seen them use this pic personally though). BUT... looking at the bald tiki above the blonde woman's head, and the ships rigging behind it, neither of these details are from the Kahiki. That said, the place certainly underwent some changes between 1961 and my visits there in the 1990s. It would make more sense, however that a Hollywood movie would be filmed in a place in LA - there were SO MANY Tiki temples there, after all. Why go all the way to Columbus, Ohio to film a Tiki scene when there were opportunities gfaloree right down the street from the film studios?
