More broadly (as this message will soon be obsolete), it can be assumed that this movie reappears from time to time on that station. Is it a great movie? No. Is it tiki? No. But it is filmed in Hawaii and features many familiar Asian and Pacific American actors such as Keye Luke. If you remember Hawaii Five-0 you'll also get a kick out of seeing Khigh Dhiegh ("Wo Fat"!) and Herman Wedemeyer ("Duke") among others. I seem to recall Al Harrington in a minor role, but this is not corroborated by IMDB.
