Did anyone see "Bachelor in Paradise" last night on TCM? It wasn't scheduled but they showed it because Bob Hope was the star. Aside for all the great mid-century houses and furniture and other stuff, there was a scene where Bob goes to this Hawaiian restaurant and has a couple drinks called the "Scorpion's Kiss" and the "Bikini". There is a live Hawaiin band in the restaurant and hula dancers wearing those shiney plastic grass skirts. When I started watching this movie, I thought there has to be a tiki bar scene in this film, so I was psyched that there actually was one.
The premise of the movie is Bob moving into a southern California suburb to write a book on American culture called "How the Americans Live". Including the tiki aspect as a typical American activity of the time, totally verified Sven's premise for the BoT.
Sven: You need to see this movie, if you haven't already.
