[78-L] Famous Labels and other record anomalies in movies

[David Lennick]

The Batwing style seems to have been generic among film studios, but there's 
one movie that takes place in the US where a Canadian pressing is clearly 
shown. Actually there are two that come to mind..one is a mock label and the 
other is meant to represent the actual record being played (or it might be the 
same record).

Anyone know either or both of these?

It has been 60 years since I saw this movie, I haven't been able to find it on a video or anything since, but that's my recollection.
