User Reviews

Nancy Kwan shows lots of skin - that's all you need to know

No, Nancy isn't nude (well, you see her backside briefly when she's about to pose nude for the artist), but Nancy Kwan is even sexier in just her plain outfits. To be honest, she looks cuter in her island outfits more than her "European" modern stuff. This is Nancy still in the era of cuteness (also watch Lt. Robin Crusoe, Flower Drum Song, and Suzie Wong for vintage Nancy - as well as Honeymoon Hotel)...but in Tamahine, you just want to throw off all her clothes...not a great film, but a great Nancy kwan physical beauty showcase.
