The nudity in this film was shocking for 1966


I was amazed when I saw the ship sailing into Hawaii and there are several shots of bare breasted women running to the ship. I was a bit taken back since this film seemed to be a "G" rated film except for that part. And since this film was made in 1966, it seems even more the shocking.

I saw this film nearly 20 years ago on TV and was slightly shocked myself, but it is realistic to South Pacific culture.

It's always hard to be a movie star!

It would be more shocking now. People in the 60's weren't so prudish.

But it's meant to be a sudden shock to the audience, as it would have been to the prim and proper New Englanders, suddenly appearing in a culture where clothing is more optional.
