[Milsurplus] Radio movies

[David Edsall]

In the The Manchurian Candidate (1962 - Frank Sinatra, Lawrence Harvey).  At 
the political convention, the final setting for the film's action, the Army 
security personnel are carrying BC-611 walkie-talkies. Strangest of all is 
the presence of a BC-375/-191 transmitter in the lighting room which serves 
as the assassin's perch above the floor of the convention. It appears in 
several shots as Harvey loads his weapon for the final shot.

This is one fine film (and much better than the recent remake) - the 
brainwashing scene is extraordinary.  If you haven't seen it recently, be 
sure to check it out.

73 and keep your eyes skinned for that elusive radio set in the background
