Wikipedia article




'The Flower of Hawaii' is a 1953 West German musical film directed by Gza von Cziffra and starring Maria Litto, Rudolf Platte and Marina Ried. It uses the music of the operetta 'The Flower of Hawaii' by Paul Abraham, but the story was rewritten. Unlike the 1933 film 'The Flower of Hawaii', this film is not based on the life of the last Queen of Hawaii Liliuokalani. It is part of the tradition of operetta films.

The film's sets were designed by the art director Albrecht Becker and Herbert Kirchhoff. It was shot at the Wandsbek Studios in Hamburg. Location shooting took place in Cannes and Nice.
