Public Enemy -  Ma puts a Brunswick of "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" (another title 
is on the label) on her Orthophonic - pretty fancy for Shanty Irish, but her son IS 
the Public Enemy & a big bootlegger!  (I don't think they show the cabinet, just a 
close-up of the record & tone-arm, but it was obviously Ortho ... and with the 
automatic stop levers not engaged)


In Little Caesar,  a Credenza is used as a place to throw coats & hats. And Fred 
Astaire has a WHITE Credenza in his  room, in one film .

I think the machine in It's a Wonderful Life is a table-top Victrola, either IV or 
VI
