Whoa!...OK, derail warning, but I don't know where else to post this, I cannot see anybody objecting to the photos :D, and after this little Laya Raki detour we shall return to THE BEACHCOMBER tv series!

Laya Raki was quite an Exotica Girl it turns out. Here only a few of her saucier stills:

I had always loved this German South Sea movie poster:


"Demons of the South Seas" 1954

She played a part in this Maori caper, and it's obviously her on the above poster!

Her PR stills for the film are great too:

Laya - I'm in love!

Her character's name was "Moana" !!!

Turns out, I already OWN a poster of the British release of the film with a changed title:

Much tamer :( The New Zealand release had yet another title, "The Seekers"

Couldn't help myself, I just bought this vintage German movie program:

I am weak...
