EDIT: The narrator even says “In the new State”, which means this is probably 1960, as Hawai’i became a state on August 21st, 1959. EDIT #2: Copyright at end of film says MCMLX. This is 1960.

This ts my Hawaii. I left Hawaii (Honolulu) in 1953 at the age of 21.

Was stationed in and lived in Hawaii, 1983-1991. In the early '80's, there were still remnants of vintage Hawaii. I remember the big pink Royal Hawaiian hotel, various tiki bars tucked in alleyways, monkey bars where squirrel monkeys swung around in a cage behind the bar. My favorite memory was Hawaii at Christmas. Hawaii was lit up so beautifully at Christmastime, it was magical.

Enjoyed watching this short film along with others you've posted! I'm looking for James Fitzpatrick's, "VistaVision visits Hawaii" tour film. It came out in July 1955. My mother is one of the tour guides and I have a very small scene doing hula. If you have access to it please post, if not, would love to know where I can find it. Mahalo!
