This is the GRANDE FINALE of the classic three episode trip to Hawaii, and its a t-riffic. If you are a true BRADY BUNCH fan you know this is the absolute best of 'em all.
Greg, Peter and Bobby are trapped by eccentric Dr. Whitehead (Vincent Price at his hammiest), believing they're going to steal his archaeological find --just like the dirty rat who stole his last one?
Worries, worries! Price is so over the top here, no shame. Actually, Sherwood Shwartz had wanted him to guest star on GILLIGANS ISLAND about 10 years earlier. Finally, Price had an opening and he appeared in two episodes, which are now camp tv classics.
Not enough could be said about this really episodic Hawaiian trip; the sets, the scenery and the offbeat story put it way over the top. There is also some neat dialogue and one liners thrown in for good fun. And no matter how devious he was, you kind of feel sorry for the old professor who confesses his sad story to Mike and Carol.
Great Hawaiin dance scene (with fire!) near the end, and with guest star Leon Lontoc as the mayor's speaker. Leon was a popular tv actor, a regular on BURKES LAW in the 60s, and on many cops shows, such as HAWAIIN EYE and MANNIX.
In real life, he was a barber by trade and would hang a sign in his window that read "gone to act" whenever he was hired to appear on tv. You can tell he was having a blast here along with Vincent Price. I'll bet Price signed lots of autographs for everybody.
Do NOT miss this one especially. From SEASON 4 EPISODE 3 remastered dvd box set.
