Default boatanchors in movies

In "Some Like It Hot" with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe, the
character Osgood is shown making a ship-to-shore call from his yacht to the
hotel using a Hallicrafters S-20R.

Ridiculous, of course, since the S-20R is a receiver, not a transceiver. His
telephone handset is plugged into the headphone jack.

I have also noticed the SX-42 in "Sabrina."
