So after years of looking for Hawaiian location Movies - I just stumbled across this Amazing Movie.
Location Location Location.
You want to see Oahu in 1952 this is Amazing.
Kinda like Blue Hawaii but 10 years before and in B&W

Nancy Olson is so hot in this..

The Movie is kinda odd but....

The film was shot entirely on location in Hawaii and includes scenes of Pearl Harbor, Molokai, Waikiki and Honolulu 30 April- 16 June 1952.
Several of the people cast in the film were Honolulu citizens: Honolulu Chief of Police Dan Liu, news reporter Vernon "Red" McQueen, wrestling champion Zinko "Lucky" Simunovich, University of Hawaii professor Joel Trapido, Bishop Kinai Ikuma, Sam "Steamboat" Mokuaki, Charles "Panama" Baptiste, Rennie Brooks, Akira Fukunaza and Ralph Honda.
World Premiere was in Kohio, Hawaii on 28 August 1952.
