In the book HAWAII RECALLS: Selling Romance to America - Nostalgic Images of the Hawaiian Islands 1910 to 1050, author DeSoto Brown collected and assembled hundreds of historic examples of promotional materials that were used to convince many people that Hawaii was the most romantic place on earth.
DeSoto claims that Betty Grable's father lived in the tropics and experienced Polynesian Paralysis. He also shares images of Hawaii that might transport the reader to "a tropical island haven where hula girls strum their ukuleles under the moonlit palms and care and worry are taboo."
