The soundtrack of Scott Joplin's music rags? Who died in 1917? For a movie set in the mid-30's? That was the Big Band Era--Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Paul Whiteman, Louis Armstrong. That would be like a movie set in the 1980's using music from the 1950's.SubRosa wrote: Mon Dec 21, 2020 11:09 pm A bathroom scene in "The Sting" where there is a grounding outlet...

well, well, look what the cat dragged in!
I was just watching "Star Trek: Enterprise" again just last night and when Trip is locked up in a closet in 1944, the wall switch has a grounding outlet as well!SubRosa wrote: Mon Dec 21, 2020 11:09 pm A bathroom scene in "The Sting" where there is a grounding outlet...

i have and wear a couple of those. you adjust them to fit by pulling the excess to the back, then trim off the excess. probably not something you'd bother to do with a film company's costume/propsHeretic wrote: Wed Mar 31, 2021 8:59 pm One thing I've noticed in countless war movies.... Some movies went to great lengths for historic accuracy, yet still have the error - a long length of the cotton web belt sticking out beyond the roller-style buckle, in some cases 6"-8" long! It's been more than a few decades since I wore one, but as I recall, the end sticking out was generally no more than 2" long.
It's just amusing, in that it's a rather noticeable breach of uniform regulations and so easy to avoid, especially if there's any attempt at presenting historical accuracy. (Even more so when the actors involved were veterans themselves and would be expected to know better...)lurker wrote: Wed Mar 31, 2021 10:46 pmi have and wear a couple of those. you adjust them to fit by pulling the excess to the back, then trim off the excess. probably not something you'd bother to do with a film company's costume/propsHeretic wrote: Wed Mar 31, 2021 8:59 pm One thing I've noticed in countless war movies....

Perhaps they simply did not pay attention to this detail, the emphasis was on the reliable transmission of events that took place during the war years. And at the expense of costumes - in many historical films there are such little things that do not correspond to the time.Heretic wrote: Thu Apr 01, 2021 4:26 pmIt's just amusing, in that it's a rather noticeable breach of uniform regulations and so easy to avoid, especially if there's any attempt at presenting historical accuracy.
