A Film Unit For Tahiti
AN article by a New Hebrides corres pondent, published in April PIM, suggested that Trans Oceanic Air lines, Ltd., were meeting so many obstacles in the operation of their Sydney-New Hebrides service that the service might be withdrawn.
We are advised by the directors of the company that there is not the slightest justification for this statement. TOA’s New Hebrides service is flourishing, and will be continued as long as it is needed.
Incidentally, a TOA flying-boat will leave soon for Suva, on charter, to pick up an American film unit in Fiji and carry the party across to Tahiti, in French Oceania. Another South Seas film app arently is under way. The “Blue Lagoon” film, made in the Yasawas (Fiji) last year, with Jean Simmons as star, by an English unit, has had a poor reception in Britain.
