OK, does anyone recall the name of a Technicolor film from the late 1940s - early 50s with a scene showing a large cabinet style 'COLOR' TV operating in a film studio office? It looks like a CBS Color set of the era, and the action on the screen plays prominently in the scene.
The set has a round tube with the top and bottom cut off. It is, of course, a simulation but it's a great scene foreshadowing the coming of color.
It's not "There's No Business Like Show Business" or "Singing in the Rain"
but I think it is a film about Hollywood musicals.
Thanks for any information you might have on this. I'd like to find it to make a demo disk for my Col-R-Tel.
Regards,
Cliff

Cliff,
It might have been the 1950 Technicolor film "My Blue Heaven." Many of the scenes, especially the music numbers, take place in a tv studio. I recall all the control room monitors and a home tv receiver in a living room scene had color pictures on their screens. All inserted via post production special effects of course. Here's the IMDb site info on this film:
