The name of the movie slips me now. But, there was a true story told of an immigrant family to the US. In one segment, the two older brothers tried going into the appliance business, then into selling new tv sets.The business burned down. There were some great shots of actual working Tv's by GE, including the famous "locomotive" set, Bendix, The RCA "Aniversery"set, Some 10" Admirals, and more, The dummy set they used by the family, obviously not really working, is a 10" console Admiral.
Also, on one program of the Andy Griffith show where Andy gets bed ridden sick, they take a 1950 16" round Admiral to his room.
In a scarce farce starring Hans Conreid, in the movie "The Twonkie", they used a 21" rectangular bakelite cased Admiral on a metal stand. Love these od movies...... Bill Cahill
