Posted posted on Sat, May 23, 2015 1:57 PM Watching a movie on TCM called "Dive Bomber" (1941) starring Errol Flynn and Fred MacMurray. There is an extended bar scene that takes place in what looks like a "proto Tiki" establishment. No carvings, but the furnishings are rattan/bamboo, the cocktails have a somewhat exotic look to them, served in tall glasses wrapped in woven mat, and some of the women are wearing Island prints. Also, there is orchestral Hawaiian music with steel guitar featured playing in the background. I think this may be an interesting glimpse into the infancy of Tiki culture.
