COMMENTS:  VERY RARE 20TH CENTURY FOX RECORDS TEST PRESSING FROM THE 1942 MOTION PICTURE "SONG OF THE ISLANDS". DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS EVER RELEASED AS A 78 OR 45 RPM SINGLE. HAVE SEEN THAT IT DOES APPEAR ON THE 33 RPM SOUNDTRACK THOUGH.

It's Techicolor gone haywire in this romantic comedy musical when Betty Grable returns to her South Seas island home and meets up with a rancher's playboy son Victor Mature  and falls in and out of love - several times. Catchy tunes, lush locations (on the Fox backlot!) and Grable - in a grass skirt - does a mean hula-hula number backed up by a bevy of Hawaiian beauties. Timeless comedy from Jack Oakie, Hilo Hattie, Thomas Mitchell and Billy Gilbert - as a cannibal. The only question the critics asked was why did it take four scriptwriters to put this confection together! Never mind, it helped us take our minds off World War Two. And Grable made her best ever entrance in a movie when she sails into a lagoon singing the title song. Fine escapist fare.
