This rare full color travelogue from the 1940s shows Hawaii as it looked in the era before air travel made the island a highly accessible tourist destination. The film was photographed by Walter "Butch" Resce, who served as a combat cameraman during WWII and founded Rainbow Pictures after the war. The film shows Waikiki Beach, surfing, Diamond Head, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and many other scenes of classic Hawaii. Floral leis are seen at the 4:30 mark, with service personnel being decorated as well as tourists. A luau is also shown, along with classic Hawaiian dancing, the Statue of King Kamehameha, and a beautiful sunset. ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh9C7lzUgOM
