Man that back bar painting is great, wish there would be a better, larger photo of it! So much lost art...
It finally proves to me that this place, like the many other "The Hurricane" pre-Tiki joints in America, was based on the Nordhoff/Hall book...
and subsequent Dorothy Lamour/ Jon Hall movie of the same name:
Scenes from "The Hurricane" WERE actually filmed on Catalina at the Isthmus - like quite a few South Sea movies in the 30s and 40s. [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2011-10-09 09:52 ] |
