This movie is more proof of my theory that in the 60s, the Kona Coast was supposed to become the new Waikiki. After Honululu was bursting under the big tourist and building boom (with a certain loss of Island romance) of the late 50s, developers and the hotel industry were seeking virgin lands to expand to, and Kona was pushed on the mainland as the next "it". That's why restaurants, motels and apartments called Kona Kai (the Kona coast) popped up here in the early to late 60s.
