Thank you so much for preserving this and sharing it. My grandparents have both passed on and I still think about them a lot. It was so nice to see them here again. Thank you.
Ala Moana Center opened in August 1959. Mike Cohen parks his 1959 Cadillac there, which would've been on sale from late 1958 to the middle of 1959. The vehicles have white on red Hawaii license plates, which were replaced at the start of 1961. So this movie likely was shot during 1960.
We have that license plate screwed to door on our garden shed and a green and white Hawaii trailer plate from 1961
Before the shopping center, it was a coral filled empty lot. There was a radio tower in the center with a small building. I remember it being KGMB for some reason. Circa 1940's.
Love Hawaii, this is way before my time but nice to see some familiar structures
This was after my time in Hawaii. Yeh, I'm that old.
I was raised in kalihi-war homes in the
40s50s. I went to kalihi
Waena elementary school. It was a wondrful time then, peaceful and very tranquil with the kalihi
Stream flowing right below our home. What great memories of child hood friends. I'm 77yrs
Youngand enjoyed my youth very much.
Puuhale '44, Kalakaua '47 and Farrington '50. UH for 3 years, then left Hawaii. Finally Purdue '55.
I remember being driven along the old part of the Pali Road, as Mrs. Fernandez's 1957 Plymouth is shown doing at 12:39. I thought it was scary. That would've been right when this movie was filmed.
It seems to cut out abruptly during the visit to the Int'l Marketplace. Is there another reel?
Apparently the film is supposed to be 17 minutes long, and our version is about 15. Not sure if the two missing minutes are a transfer issue or something else -- we will have to look into it. Thanks for pointing this out.
Look all of them haoles
We need Fallout Hawaii
Buying sharks fins?! Did they also sell endangered snow tiger teeth and elephant tusks?
The film looks like it's from 1959 based on the newest car I could spot. Multiculturalism seams to have worked in Hawaii for decades, yet on the mainland , many Americans are still suspicious of it.
And the fact that the Ala Moana Shopping Center first opened in August 1959.
There is a good reason why multiculturalism works in Hawaii at that time. It not who’s there but who isn’t.

"It's not who's there, but who isn't."
What do you mean by that?
@@michaelpalmieri7335 Consider the demographics (% of population) of Hawaii in 1960:
Hawaiian - 16
White - 32
Japanese- 32
Chinese - 6
Filipino - 11
Black - 1
Other - 2 ("Other" includes Korean)
I think you can figure out "who isn't" there.
It works because everyone there works together and understand they are American before every other part of their background. Whereas back on the mainland….certain demographics say they want equality yet want to be treated ‘special and different’
No Ka 'Oi
the american way of life????? WOW
Got to love the comment ‘Hawaii was formerly annexed to the United States’. Ummm it pretty much was a coup and occupation. The locals didn’t have much say in it.
Chinese ??? The japenese
