A "soundie" short film from the early 40s. "Soundies" were 16mm song-and-dance films that played in the "visual jukeboxes" of the period - jukeboxes that had small movie screens built into them and instead of a record, they played 16mm film strips, so you could hear AND see your favorite acts. This is a romantic tribute to full moons and canoe rides conveys all the allure and romance that a Hawaiian dreamscape could possess.

Another Hawaiian-themed Soundie, this one with a Big band beat, a wild dancer and some bizarre archival footage thrown in to confuse. Strange and exciting.

Stars Corinna Mura as a gyrating guitar-slapping voodoo priestess in this tour-de-force of tropical exotica. Mura had a much more sedate song appearance in Rick’s Cafe in the Humphrey Bogart film, Casablanca.

Technicolor trailer selection; a mini-tribute to the "high queen of camp", the American B-movie star, Maria Montez who made a series of garish, action-adventure B-movies for Universal Studio in the early 40s and was also known as "the Queen of Technicolor". She married Jean-Pierre Aumont in 1943 and when her career in America started to fade in the mid-40s, they moved to France where she starred in a number of films before she died in a bathtub (heart-attack) in 1951. The 6 Technicolor trailers are for films like White Savage, Gypsy Wildcat and Cobra Woman. (In issue 27, Winter 1962/63, of Film Culture Smith penned a landmark tribute to Montez entitled “The Perfect Film Appositeness of Maria Montez”).
