Default boatanchors in movies

I just watched a movie called "Across the Pacific" (1942) with Humphrey
Bogart and at the end of the movie there was a hallicrafters SX-11 or 12

in
the scene where they are at the plantation. A lot of old Bogart movies

have
cool radios in them. I've also seen a SX-42 in "Sabrina" and a

Hallicrafters
marine radio phone in "Key Largo" .


Sure, there are some Hallicrafters radios in the Hollywood A movies. But it
seems like one out of three of the cheesy low-budget sci-fi movies from the
50s had at least one. One of the journey to the center of the earth movies
had two, one modified with a piece of paper to serve as an indicator of the
mileage from the earth's surface.

There's a 50s Dragnet episode which shows a s-38 stacked on top of a S-40.
At the time I saw it, I had my radios stacked the same way -- more than
fifty years later!
