[R-390] R390[A?] in the movies?

[Bruce Ussery]

Barry,
I've been meaning to ask the same thing. Got the DVD for my movie classics 
collection last year and went nuts trying to "freeze frame" the scenes with 
the cool radios. Managed to grab a few frames a few months back but never 
got around to any further research. I think the added info on the DVD 
indicated it was filmed partly at LAX, but I don't know how that collection 
of radios came to be. Anyway I just found a bmp to jpg converter so I could 
try to post the frames I grabbed. Try this:

I hereby acknowledge the true genius of Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry 
Zucker and beg their indulgence.

P.S. sorry I don't know beans about building a web page. Used a template 
provided by my isp. Click on "a few grabbed frames".
