As the temperatures begin to climb, so does the desire to head poolside. Let’s visit the El Mirador Hotel, 1954, and take a dip in their pool. First, we see the tower, an architectural signature of the hotel. Note the sun dial:
That water looks so inviting!
If you don’t feel like your bod is ready for swimsuit weather, just put a gigantic matchbook on top of your head. Nobody will notice the rest.
Or sit next to movie star Rhonda Fleming; all eyes will be on her, not you.
Actress Laraine Day is doing her best to stay in the shade:
Actress Joan Taylor probably never event went in the water. Mess up the hair? No way…
Thanks to Daveland reader Nanook, we know that actor Marshall Thompson is the gent on the left and wife Barbara Long (sister of actor Richard Long) is at right:
As the sun goes down, things heat up at the El Mirador, as the hula dancers begin to shake:

That sundial is a great touch. You don't see those anymore. That's a shame. No moving parts, just a nice touch.
I did a Google reverse-image lookup and it confirmed the couple in that picture as "1954-EM-Duo" from the Daveland gallery. I certainly hope that information helped.
On the other hand, it suggested William Holden and Brenda Marshall, or even Tony Martin and Cyd Charisse. There were more responses for that second one. I reviewed pics of both couples and there are times you'd swear it could be either, but I'm leaning towards Tony Martin and Cyd Charisse.
That 'mystery couple' is Marshall Thompson and his wife Barbara Long.
Thank you! I never trusted reverse lookup but I do trust your memory.
Nanook - You continue to impress!
