For the chapter where they traveled to Tahiti, they used stock footage from "Manuana". I knew that tiki looked Hawaiian. Good catch, bigbro. Another happy discovery from this film... ...notice the pole to the left of the fern-wood tiki above. :down: and under her arm below: :down: you can see it's lips at the upper left corner here: That gives me the location of this 8x10 glossy photo that just arrived in the mail today: All I knew was that it was a photo promoting Hawaii travel that was used in the Chicago Sun Times in 1954. Now I know it was taken at Don The Beachcomber's.
