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.
