A Place in the Sun is a good, almost campy, film noir movie complete with a luau dinner scene and Hawaiian band. George Stevens directed it and it stars Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift and Shelley Winters. It won 6 Academy Awards.
Because of the plot twist I would guess the movie was considered risque' when it came out in 1951.
