Fantastic sequence from 1933 - featuring some hot Hawaiian steel from Sol Hoopii. For more information and other Hawaiian music related fun, visit www.beerrecords.com.
Quote from IMDB : "Prohibition is ending so bootlegger Bugs Ahearn decides to crack California society" Movie is "the little giant" btw, as stated a bit further down ;-)
Now That's what I call a party !! I knew they could do it !! In most movies of those days, parties always look so damn civilized. Or does Sol Hoopii have anything to do with it ? :D
I have loved Sol's music since I discovered him on a reissue LP put out on a Rounder Records. It is very exciting to see this clear clip of Sol in a film. How can I obtain this movie? Is is available for purchase?
This is "Little Big Man" (1933) Edward G. Robinson as Bugs Ahearn, trying to break into Cali society,, also starred mary Astor, but Polly here was played by Helen Vinson.
The closest I could find on Youtube:Search..... King Nawahi Hawaiian Melody Madison 5067 78 rpm

Watch carefully, you can see the band in second 18-19 as the camera pans past the hula girl.

I think you mean 'Little Caesar', the classic gangster film. 'Little Big Man' was a much later Western starring Dustin Hoffman and Faye Dunaway.
