 I watched the Movie MK Ultra that is set in 1961 which is based on the CIA doing experiments with drugs on people unknowingly

I thing what they used were bright Orange Chinese reproduction rotary phones. ALL phones in the movie seem to be this bright orange but in the very first telephone scene looks like a Chinese shell over a Black WE dial because this one they show from the front. Even the sounds of the dial are usually not right.

A yellow 2500 is one of my favorite phones.  Not seen in these pictures, the pale yellow faceplate makes a nice contrast with the richer yellow shell.

Watch some of the Poirot series with David Suchet. He has a rare white GPO 232 on his desk but the bell set is nowhere to be seen.

TV documentary recently aired about 1980s British music. This still shows Rick Astley in the recording studio with an ivory 746 on the mixing desk.

I guess the sound engineer just wouldn't give it up.  ;D

I just checked out the new movie "Asteroid City" on IMDB and first clip was 2 of the stars on a phone call, 1 from a payphone and 1 from what appears to be a painted white 302.

I'd take an educated guess but am unqualified.
In paramediclass, doctor asked me signs of Alzheimers.  "I forget.", I answered.

Lighted Princess® telephones are our favorites!

To ensure an emergent transport call, I need only:
- take first sip of beer when eating pizza
- start shampooing in the shower
- pull bed covers over and get warm and cozy
- begin my OCD oil change.  (Remove oil plug to drain overnight.)

It is hard to tell from that video.  It might be a Trimline copycat rather than a real Trimline®.

Poirot in France 1936 
Looks like a white W48?

Handset, cradle and dial are 100% a W48. The shell looks a bit more pyramidal, not rounded. But that will be an effect of the lighting.
Not a very good choice for a pre-war setting in France, but highly decorative  :)

That, providing modular phones for movies taking place in the 50s or 60s, and using cars that didn't exist in the era the movie was supposed to take place in.
