"The Secret Fury", a 1950 RKO film noir starring Robert Ryan and Claudette Colbert, has a scene where Vivian Vance (!) walks down a street in front of a large club called the Tahitian with plenty of neon and decor on the front such as bamboo and a ship's wheel.

The movie was pretty slow and melodramatic in the first half, but got more noirish and interesting in the second half. There is a scene in an apartment filled with mid-century modern furniture by Eames, Saarinen, etc.
