[78-L] Record sighting in the movies

[Randy Watts]

No, whatever record was playing probably wasn't what viewers heard. I remember a friend grousing over a movie he saw in which someone plays an Andrews Sisters Decca at one point, but the record you saw being handled and played was a red label Columbia. Annoyed him no end.
