Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Mario Filippi (N2HUN), who writes:<\/p>\n

Maybe this is old news but in the 1959 film “On the Beach”<\/a> which was from the book by Nevil Shute<\/a>, there is a Zenith transoceanic shortwave radio in this clip from the film. It is inside the lighthouse and appears just about five minutes into the film.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Big stars in this one, Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for the tip, Mario! I love classic films, but I don’t think I’ve seen On the Beach<\/em>. I’ll put this on my watch list!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll add this post to\u00a0our ever growing archive of radios in film!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
