Also wanted to bring up what I've thought was one of the most intriguing films I've read about, on these pages, THE RIGHT APPROACH (1961)(thejab brought it up for example in 2002). I thought the plot would make this the closest thing to a tiki style film that was ever made because the main characters, in the early 60s, lived in a former Tiki restaurant as their bachelor pad. That is cool, that is tiki but after receiving and viewing the Fox Cinema Archive resent DVD release today I was disappointed by the fact that the bachelors didn't really live a true tiki lifestyle, except one of them wore an Aloha shirt. But as mentioned on the ADVENTURES IN PARADISE thread it did have a scene that took place on the ADVENTURES IN PARADISE set and that was cool. Here are some screen shots:

First the Bachelor Pad:

Then the ADVENTURES IN PARADISE SET



Note the double A-frame above

Finally in the film, backing up one the bachelors, Gary Crosby, in the band was, who I think was a young Johnny Carson as the drumer-My opinion I cannot confirm it. Any other opinions? The first shot does look like Johnny in the b.g.

The following shot doesn't look like him but...

...this pic of young Johnny looks like the guy above
