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

[David Lennick]

Matter of fact, last night we watched the original 1931 MALTESE FALCON and Spade puts on a record, starting it midway, a dance version of "For You". The disc is seen clearly. It has an acoustical Brunswick label. And the record has a Victor runout. Go figure.
