Title: Two-Thirds Of A Coconut Tree
Description: Early 1960's light hearted travelogue to Tahiti and French Polynesia shortly after the filming of the movie 'Mutiny on the Bounty' starring Marlon Brando. Smith catches up with many of the famous authors and artists that had been writing about French Polynesia for decades. The famous Quinn's Bar in Papeete had not burned down yet and Smith spends a good deal of time there and describes the goings on there. He sees and describes most of the sights and the local notaries. But between the breezy narrative, Smith describes the effect that the filming of Mutiny on the Bounty had on the island and the islanders.
