Secret of the Incas

Secret of the Incas: Directed by Jerry Hopper. With Charlton Heston, Robert Young, Nicole Maurey, Thomas Mitchell. An adventurer searchers for hidden treasure in the Peruvian jungles.

A film mentioned in a book I read recently, “California Tiki”, “Secret of the Incas” features the singing of Yma Sumac, well known for her “Exotica” album work. As a happy coincidence, one of my favorite silver screen actresses is here too, Glenda Farrell is here, but to be honest I didn’t even catch on to that fact until after the movie was over, some super sleuth I’d be! More apparent though is the proto Indiana Jones character as played by Charlton Heston, though in this case he’s a simple tour guide to the local sites and museums for tourists. They filmed on location at some pretty sensitive locations, the most noticeable is the top of Machu Picchu, a historic site that I doubt would get the green light today to be filmed in.

There’s a volume of reasons to suggest this film. This is clearly an inspiration for Indy, so if you’re a fan of that franchise, this is a great one to watch. If you’re a fan of pop tiki music, Sumac deliveries some amazing songs for you to enjoy. If you’re a huge nerd for Glenda Farrell, she’s here too, just not as a main character, much to my disappointment, but any appearance is a good appearance for me!

California Tiki

After World War II, suburbs proliferated around California cities as returning soldiers traded in their uniforms for business suits. After-hours leisure activit

It should be no surprise that I found this book to be both entertaining and informative, as I’ve long has a fascination with what I knew of pop tiki culture since I was in high school and was introduced to it through MTV’s Beachhouse Tiki God. The MTV version was terrible on nearly every level, but it was the seed that grew into wanting to know more and forming an identity for myself. I’m the proud owner of a ton of pop tiki stuff, including a tattoo of a defunct tiki toy line taking up a large portion of a calf, and about half a dozen tiki masks that friends and family have gotten me through the years. Jason Henderson and Adam Foshko have put together a well researched and mostly light hearted 126 page book that goes into the morbid details of the origins of the genre, how it faded into near nothingness, and why it’s been in something of a resurgence in the last decade.

Of particular interest to me is the amount of transmedia sections there are with dozens of movies, music albums, and musicals to check out to get a solid feel for what the original pop tiki movement was like. No need to just take their word for it, just go watch “Gidget”, “GIrls Girls Girls”, or “The South Seas” to see for yourself, maybe even thrown in “The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit” if you want a much heavier story that gets to real origins.

Pop Tiki might be the last large scale cultural appropriation that the USA will be able to get away with, and it may be the one that lasts the longest since it’s so well rooted in the ideology of American exceptionalism, escapism, and appreciation for open hospitality that the islanders exhibited during WW2 that led the returning military personnel to create their own versions of cargo cults here in the mainland.
