I've been wanting to try my hand at screen captures, so imagine my delight when I discovered that the last movie I watched fit this category!!
I had seen this film, Bell, Book and Candle, some twenty years ago. And while I was definitely a phone collector then, all of the phones showcased in this movie were "newer" than what I was actively collecting at that time, so I barely noticed them. I was delighted to find, after buying the DVD version, that there are a few colored 500's in this film. My provocation for putting it in this thread: most of the movie is not about Christmas, but the opening scenes occur on Christmas Eve.
1) The first is in scene two. Jimmy Stewart comes into his apartment to discover Elsa Lanchester behind his desk. Some banter ensues, after which Jimmy says;"If you'll excuse me, I have some telephoning to do". This ticks off Ms. Lanchester, & she puts a spell on Mr. Stewart's phone.
2) In the next scene, we see Jimmy knock on Kim Novak's shop door downstairs & ask to use her telephone...his is out of order. We discover she has a moss green 500 with gray cords. This shot, with Mr. Stewart standing while holding the handset to his ear, shows the straight handset cord to full effect.
3) This next shot shows Jimmy entering his Manhatten office, & we see his secretary has both an early intercom set and a mahogany 500 on her desk.
