Fun idea! Here's a couple to consider.

The first one is Mutiny on the Bounty with Marlon Brando. I like the wahine in the pic, but I'm sure you could find another still with just Brando. This is for The Mutiny Cocktail (not in Beachbum Berry's books but appears to be a classic older drink).

Mutiny Cocktail

1 1/2 oz Dark rum
2 dashes Bitters
1/2 oz Dubonnet Rouge
1 Maraschino Cherry

In a mixing glass half-filled with ice cubes, combine the rum, Dubonnet, and bitters.
Stir well.
Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with the cherry.

The second is a still from Tabu (also called Tabu, a Story of the South Seas), a 1931 film directed by F.W. Murnau. I originally chose this for the Tahitian (page 80 Grog Log) but I just noticed it's one of the Bum's creations. Darn. However, it could still be used for the Polynesian Spell Cocktail (on page 65) which was originally used at the Kahiki or the Polynesian Paralysis (page 64) which are both vintage drinks.
