![]() "Brian Hill" wrote in message ... 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! Frank Dresser |
