Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Mark Hirst, who writes:<\/p>\n

I’m something of a Film Noir fan, so I was pleased to have tracked down “Dead Reckoning<\/a>” on Amazon recently.<\/p>\n

Starring Humphrey Bogart and Lizabeth Scott, Bogart’s character is seen early on in this 1947 film listening to police chatter on his bed side radio.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The police conversation sounds a bit contrived, serving the purpose of advancing the story of course, though I’m wondering if this type of radio could be used this way – I’m sure there are experts who would know.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please comment if you can answer Mark’s question!<\/p>\n

Thanks for sharing, Mark. Like you, I love Film Noir<\/em> and pretty much anything starring Bogie (or especially Lauren Bacall)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
