Forgot these pics for tikilongbeach.
There are no better examples of mid-century coolness than the characters of "Ocean's Eleven" and Danny Ocean right hand man, Sam Harmon, lives where? Hawaii! Can't get more cool or tiki than that... well except for, maybe, living in Tahiti. Here are shots of him (played by Dean Martin) arriving in Vegas.

Reminds me of another cool actress of the time, here is her Hawaii flight bag:

Another mid-Century icon, Marilyn, who just arrives also from Hawaii after being missing for a couple years in the South Seas. Ironically her husband, now remarried, was also played by Dino Martin. Sadly, "Something's Got to Give" was Marilyn's last movie, before she died, that was never finished.
