In "Some Like It Hot," with Marilyn Monroe et. al., Joe E. Brown's character
(Osgood Fielding III) is shown on his yacht using a Hallicrafters S-20R
receiver (?) to telephone the hotel.

Have to wonder how that could work, since the S-20R can't transmit anything,
and the cord from Osgood's telephone handset is plugged into the headphone
jack.

I'm guessing that a propmaster saw the Send/Receive switch and guessed this
was a two-way radio of some sort.

Oh well . . . that's Hollywood!

Might give new meaning to the term "ham radio" :-)
