While watching 'Blue Hawaii' (1961) the other day, this scene from inside a travel agency caught my attention. The scene is about 20 mins into the film and is a discussion between Elvis's girlfriend and his father. But the background is of the International Market Place. Look closer behind the ladies' hat and you can see two tikis in front the Don the Beachcomber locale. Are these the same tikis?

Sorry for the crappy images, they are pics from the tv, I couldn't get the screen capture to work on the laptop.

There are also some really great architecture shots in the movie. Elvis's parents house on Oahu is awesome, but I bet it was a set constructed for the movie. This coffee shop(?) is in the opening scene of the movie. Anyone remember what it was? Later in the scene it looks like it is across the street from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. The highrise portion of the wonderful Waikikian Hotel is also quickly shown in this shot just down the street around the corner.
