In the directors cut of road to perdition there is a cut scene from the movie that shows a roadhouse with twenty goosenecks that I rented to them. They belonged to the late Frank Zygmunt, he went to see the movie and immediately called me up and asked where they were. They filmed 99 scenes for that movie and it was one that got cut of many.

Thanks for the heads-up;
I've never heard of this movie; my DVR is set.

TCM recently showed "The Lemon Drop Kid" for Christmas;
a silly Bob Hope show with one of the great Christmas songs: Silver Bells.
It has a few scenes with a Castle Front and a couple other Mills Half-Tops.

In the TV show MASH there are two slots in the Officer's Club. Am I wrong or were these from a time period after the Korean War?
They have a candle on top, so they are electric mechanical or fully electric. Any thoughts on this?
