Tikis in films - General Tiki

One of the main characters, Frankie Vaughan is a singer/actor trying to break into show business and his first role was as a day player on the ADVENTURES IN PARADISE set. Cool that they used the real set with the real star, Gardner McKay. Also a cool South Seas/Tiki connection. Frankie is on the left in the aloha shirt in the 3-shot capture. The ADVENTURE IN PARADISE sign in question is the opening shot of this ADVENTURES IN PARADISE sequence. A simple transition establishing shot introducing the scene without the need for cheap captioning. The sign says it all. Also thank you ATP for the compliment. Sorry about the typo in the Crosby name, the "r" left out. Yes that is Bing's son but I don't even know if the young'ins on TC know who Bing is? :) Haha! Gary, I thought, was the most talented of the big star kids, including Wayne and Mitchum's boys who all were featured in South Seas movies. I also mentioned on another thread that Gardner McKay was a special guest at a South Seas Cinema meeting/party. I'm not gay (and not saying it's bad to be one) but Gardner was one handsome guy. About Carson, ATP you are right, should of thought of the date. Carson would be older and by 1955 he had already established himself as a national TV personality, already grown into his look that were were accustom too. More reminiscing, Almost worked with him on a movie after his retirement but unfortunately he took ill a couple months before the first day of shooting and he died not long after. He will be missed. Anyone know of a Tiki connection with Carson?
