Reception
Variety wrote "A slick comedy of errors. this kooky, offbeat production, basking in a Hawaiian locale, presents a frisky plot, workable comedic situations, subtle color and eager acting by unknowns, as well as some nicely photographed ethnic dancing... Harmon carries the weight of the show, but plot soon loses crazymixed-up girl approach to concentrate on robbing the robbers story. Film is neither purely for the juves nor for the older set, but film has snicker appeal."
