In the noir "The Brothers Rico" (1957) there's a tiki on a dresser in the bedroom of main character Eddie Rico's house (he is played by Richard Conte). Much of the movie is set in Florida, with some good outdoor location shots and some gorgeous tropical modern interior spaces, especially the crime syndicate boss Sid Kubick's apartment. Not on video or DVD, but it showed on TCM recently.

Here's a clip that shows the tiki (at 2:00):
