It's not just visitors that have come in droves to experience Kaua'i's scenic beauty, natural wonders and sense of mystery. Hollywood knew Kaua'i's secrets long before the Garden Isle became a destination for travelers from around the globe. Hollywood's love affair goes as far back as 1933 when the first major feature was filmed and continues today. The Kaua'i Movie Book is a treasure map of the feature films made on Kaua'i. Trace the location filming of Jurassic Park, South Pacific, Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Kong, Pagan Love Song, and over 30 other Hollywood movies in this detailed guide. Hollywood's sixty year-plus love affair with Kaua'i is illustrated with rare movie stills of the casts, crews, and sets. Color photographs of the movie locations as they are today, taken by renowned Kaua'i-based landscape photographer David Boyton, bring up-to-date this beautiful, informative and amusing guide book. Stand at the lookout above the Menehune Fishpond and gaze upon the landscape where director Steven Spielberg filmed the opening sequences for Raiders of the Lost Ark. Swim at Hanama'ulu Bay where director John Ford filmed Donovan's Reef, and bask in the mists of the twin falls of Wailua, the site of the opening montage of television's Fantasy Island. A concise history of surfing movies made on Kaua'i, a look at documentary filmmaking in the island's native forests and accounts of Japanese film companies and movie stars on location on the island complete the total scope of this prized reference. The Kaua'i Movie Book provides a drive quide to movie locations, a movie location map spread across two pages, an exhaustive list of feature films made on the island, and a list of Kaua'i-made movies available on video.
