The Great Rita Hayworth in "Miss Sadie Thompson" Columbia Pictures (1952)you can find a synopsis of it here http://members.tripod.com/~claudia79/sadie.html It contains almost no tiki's but its an important depiction of the roots of suburban tiki, with G.I.'s living it up in tropical paradise, it has a proto tiki bar called "jimmys" in it run by a chinese man, (the bars the template for a hundred bamboo and fishing float places) and gratuitus hula scenes. |
