Jimmy Jewel refers to this little film in his autobiography ('Three Times Lucky', 1982), when he and Ben were trying to cobble together a fresh act when playing pubs and clubs ("terrible bloody places") in the late 1950s with limited resources. "We had a projector and a little screen so we could do sketches based on comedy commercials; then we'd be off on some other tangent, say a musical routine: 'The Merry Widow' or something of that sort." (The small boy who features as the boxing champ must surely be his son Kerry.)

So cool seeing footage from a time when my Nana was young and been able to see what the island looked like during her time before the family migrated to NZ

1. A bit more background would be great for this obvious rarity please! 2. Can anyone lipread? 3. Donated by Bill who? Could it be Oddie, as he is a fan of the pair and the joke at 3:20 appeared in The Goodies? In fact the whole film seems to be spoof ads, which is interesting. I know others had done spoof ads before - including Benny Hill - but The Goodies was first to use them as an actual ad break in the programme, as I understand it.

There is a part in this documentry that said, in the arrival of the Europeans came civilisation to the people of the islands. This is so hogwash talk, the Islands already have their own way of living, it's not the europeans BUT the islands. We have to tell these people that our people were civilised in their way of life. In this movie you can tell that the islanders were made to wear ei's and act accordingly just to make this movie. BEWARE of false statements!

So true apart from making the islanders wear ei's and dancing, that is what the islanders do in common day life, such a beautiful way of life. I spent my early childhood living on Rarotonga

Cook Islanders love to dance and wear flowers all the time so nobody is making them do that

Vahinemoena ... not 1 obese person in my Rarotongan family line, be it here in NZ , Oz or the Cooks, you read and see into how alot of Polys are overweight but in my experience i put it down to laziness & overeating as with any other culture.

Please don't see this as an offense. I've been traveling through South Pacific Islands for the past 6 years and seen the same problems everywhere. Yes, it's the change of food and less physical activities, but according to some scientists there might even be a genetic reason. Anyway, I'm pleased to hear that your family is doing good and I always enjoy seeing slender girls and muscular men dancing and moving graciously.

Vahinemoena im Micronesian, what he/she sayin is the same with my Family. but i also what your saying. whose to blame? ofcourse westerners!! especially frm my point of view the Americans!! they inrtoduce so many to us without teaching us the outcome or how to get rid of it(wastewise) they introduce so much products/items(like can goods, & all processed food) without tellin us how to get rid of da waste they left behind on an island in the middle of the Ocean.. especially an island in the Pacific so far away frm big landmasses.... smh

This is from a colonialist perspective which is always racist, as colonialism is racism. For more video and information on Polynesian Maori in the South Pacific, feel welcome to visit facebook.com/groups/202274190527260/
