[ARC5] Sahara

[DSP3]

Wayne,

You may be absolutely correct.  That said, I don't know when the film 
was actually made, nor where?  But, the radio clearly has the chrome 
push-buttons.  Another two movies, Fury and the one about the 
tank-destroyers also have the FM sets.  However, I now quote from movie 
trivia:

/Sahara/ was filmed on location in the Imperial County 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_County,_California>, California, 
portion of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anza-Borrego_Desert_State_Park>, near the 
Salton Sea <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_Sea>, using soldiers 
and equipment of the U.S. 4th Armored Division 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4th_Armored_Division_%28United_States%29>, 
then in training at the Desert Training Center 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Training_Center>, as extras 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_%28acting%29>.  Filmed in 1943.
