This is really pretty wonderful stuff that those folks at Pathe have put up for free. I'm amazed by what was going of Tiki-wise in the UK in the 60's. We knew those places existed, but hadn't realised they were so fuggin' brilliant. Surely similar archives must exist in the US somewhere of the classic Tiki bars? There's a lot more to explore on Pathe...Polynesian dances, Maori hakas, as well as a show of beachwear at London Hilton, where Trader Vic's is situated. Unfortunately the site is proving so popular that it's difficult to get an 'order' at the moment but keep trying. Trader Woody [ Edited by: Trader Woody on 2002-11-22 19:17 ]
