Song Credits

Unless my ears are fooling me, the song sung in the opening credits and throughout the film, is "Pearly Shells" sung in Hawai'ian. I don't see any credit for Kui Lee, the person I always thought was the author of this song. As a child, I worked in the dance troop at the "International Market Place" in Waikiki. This song is one of the many that we sang for the tourists on Sundays in the big green area near the Tea House. It was a very popular song in the 60's.

The scenery of the location shots can really make a person (like me) homesick. However, the relatives that still live there constantly remind me that the Hawai'i that I left in '73 is no more. More people, more buildings, more tourists. no more sugar plantations, no more pineapple plantation like when I was growing up. Oh well, I hope someone can find out about the true credits for the song.

score 8/10
