Chris-Miller-12 During my late teens I was growing up in Kidbrooke, a dormitory suburb in south-east London. My family and I did not have a television until 1958 so we were restricted to listening to the radio. About that time I heard Connie Stevens sing "Sixteen reasons" on the radio. From her voice I pictured Connie as a pretty, blue-eyed blonde. I immediately bought the record. A little while later my family bought our first television. About eight months later I saw Connie playing the part of 'Cricket' in "Hawaiian Eye" so imagine my astonishment when she looked exactly as imagined when listening to her voice approximately one year earlier. This was the first of only two times I was right when putting a face to a radio/telephone voice to a person whom I had never seen.Since then I have been a fan of Connie Stevens, and bought her compact disc some years' ago. Unfortunately I have not seen her biography on the shelving in London's bookshops. Near my place of employment in London's Covent Garden area is the Cinema bookshop, but again no pertinent biographic books and neither is there a signed photograph on display - how sad! I hope that Connie Stevens is keeping well and enjoying life. Should she visit London to give a show or perform in London's theatreland I would like to know as I would like to be in the audience as appropriate.I also wish that "Hawaiian Eye" and "77 Sunset Strip" would appear again on British Television.

vranger Hawaiian Eye was one of the set of sexy Warner Brothers PI shows of the late 50s and early 60s. Along with the legendary 77 Sunset Strip, Bourbon Street Beat, and Surfside 6.Hawaiian Eye notably featured TVs first substantial look at Robert Conrad, who of course became a TV series staple with shows such as Wild, Wild West, and Blacksheep Squadron (aka Baa Baa Black Sheep).A young and beautiful Connie Francis is also in evidence, with an entertaining song number almost every show, and an occasional involvement in a case.Anthony Eisley was suave and confident as the senior partner. Unforuntely this would be Eisley's best role, as after this show he basically was limited to guest star slots on other series.The stories are often somewhat simplistic, often involving solving a dangerous problem more than solving a deep mystery. However, all the actors are engaging and interesting, and anyone with a yen for TV nostalgia will enjoy them.

joanieb64 I loved everything about this show! The location, the suspense, comedy and most of all appealing characters. I had a huge crush on Robert Conrad and loved, loved Connie Stevens, even joined her fan club when I was in elementary school. I remember once writing a fan letter to Robert Conrad and I got a signed photo, unfortunately, I don't have it anymore...darn! I loved all the shows that Warner Brothers had at the time on television...Surfside Six, 77 Sunset Strip. I was saddened to learn when Troy Donahue passed away and well as some of the others. It was a great time for television.I get to see Connie on TV sometimes. She has been on Larry King and I have seen her on a few awards shows in the audience. My husband liked to watch Black Sheep Squadron with Robert Conrad. Thanks for sharing.

Thad Taylor Ah, TV was a much simpler place back then. They didn't have gimmicks like car chases or explosions, and the plots were fairly transparent by today's standards, but it still holds up well as solid entertainment. Only one thing - the idea of an exotic Hawaiian location was nice, but we all know that not one foot of film was shot there, right? All done on the Warner Bros. sets in Burbank.....still, it paved the way for H-50 a few years down the road! Aloha
