Waikiki Wedding (1937)



Paramount Pictures
Directed by Frank Tuttle
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal)

Hollywood hokum about a carefree advertising man in Hawaii who falls in love with his latest idea. Shirley Ross wins a contest to become "pineapple girl" for his company, but becomes homesick when the promise of romantic nights does not materialize. Bing takes care of that, but forgets to tell her that he is being paid for the privilege. Insufferable "comic relief" from Martha Raye and a man with a pig. Mexican-born Anthony Quinn is cast as a native Hawaiian in one of his earliest roles.
