"The Hawaiians" (1970)

Little-known film based on the later chapters of James Michener's "Hawaii". Starring Chuck Heston as Whipple "Whip" Hoxworth. My review is here on Letterboxd:

There's only one scene that features tikis...a big letdown from "Hawaii" (1966), which was chockablock with them: Whip discusses his part-Hawaiian wife's frigidity and deteriorating mental state with his family doctor, in a study decorated with the handsome fellow seen in the screencap above.

If anyone's interested, I also maintain a list of Tiki films on Letterboxd:
