Note that this movie has massive similarity to Albert S. Rogell's "Aloha", made the previous year. We don't know if one movie inspired the other, or if there was any controversy at this time over the similarity of the two movies. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II German poster! Very few German posters survive from before World War II (even fewer than those from other European countries) due to massive paper shortages in Germany at that time that resulted in almost all old paper being recycled. The poster has an emblem in the upper right which includes the date of the poster! What IS linenbacking?
