I just started watching "New Orleans," the 1947 film featuring Louis Armstrong & Billie Holiday. Right after the titles, the very first sound that came on the screen was an anachronism. After a title that read: "1917," you hear Armstrong's introduction to "West End Blues," which he didn't record until 11 years later. Sheesh.
