Watched "A Place in the Sun" (1951) with Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor and Shelly Winters last night on DVD. Toward the end of the movie, Clift is at a home luau thrown by Taylor's parents. Everyone is wearing leis and aloha shirts, drinking out of pineapples, etc. There is some great Hawaiian music playing on the Hi-Fi (one would assume) and then suddenly they cut to a couple of live musicians. Although I didn't spot any tikis, it was a fairly long scene.
