keys

November 29th, 2005 at 14:29 (1940s)

The keys shown above play an important role in the movie we’re looking for…in the first picture our protagonist wants to open this lock but hasn’t the key. In the second picture she steals this key from her husband. The other important things in this movie are radioactive dust and vessels for fermented grape juice. The film is based upon a 1921 Saturday Evening Post two-part short story The Song of the Dragon. It received only two Academy Award nominations: Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay.

Miss Elizabeth Jennings

November 28th, 2005 at 17:38 (1940s)

We’re looking this time for a movie that’s an adaptation of a 1943 radio play. In the above shown scene Miss Elizabeth Jennings is playing bingo and the protagonist wants to speak with her on the phone to find out if Miss Jennings knows where her husband is. Miss Jennings, who is the secretary of the protagonist’s husband, is rather reluctant to leave her bingo session and only listens to the page boy after another person has won.
