 @^? @^? @^?  wow.. a great B&W flick.. but a shocking fun Telechron treat:  1935's "The Star of Midnight" with William Powell and Ginger Rogers.  I tape the Sat night late TCM B&W films - usually pretty good.. woke up and  (%$

About 1 minute in, the 2nd scene is a full frame closeup of the 530 Nottingham !!  What a thrill !   It has 2 scenes, almost a full-frame picture, and then a 2nd a bit backgroun on the table.  But the fun continues..  with a 453 Denmore in Powell's kitchen, and (a bit more guessing here.. you help me out...) a 7H83 Mentor alarm clock on Powell's night stand.. kinda wonder if these were Powell favorites or the prop guys...  The scene on the Nottingham is so long, and so good, you can see its second hand move for 4 seconds..  

I had to do the "Today-then" color_B&W thing ... just had to  }^*

Wow.  That's a passel of Telechrons for sure.  Love William Powell.  Ginger Rogers is OK too.

 ..  *}}   I have mine on "KEEP".. I like it a bit more than Powell's Thin Man series - which are pretty great.. he's a bit more serious in this one...

Did anyone spot the big Telechron wall clock at the training gym in "The Fighter" (the Mark Wahlberg movie about 'Irish' Mickey Ward)? It gets a closeup in a scene near the beginning of the movie.

Ah, Kid! trust you to have spotted it before I did!

I was also quite disappointed in the movie. It felt as if the production people were not sure which direction they wanted the movie to go. It was frustrating to watch. And I really wished they had touched on the series of barn storming wars between 'Irish' Mikey Ward and Arturo 'Thunder' Gatti. Every one of their matches was declared "fight of the year" by Ring magazine.

A 1H1412 - Commercial Business Clock on the wall of the gym...

I liked it.  They did a good job the Boston accents.  How scary were the 7 sisters???   *_*

"The Finger Points" - 1931 with Gable and Fay Wray...  333 Beverly and a 201 (me think) Wall Telechron... checking out the 1930 Philo Vance "The Bishop Murder Case"..
