NOpe, don't know if I have .  DON't think I've ever
watched that movie.

I'm very utilitarian as it comes to vehicles, being that the old blind man
doesn't drive himself.  Vehicles are all about function to this old

vintage radio equipment ...

That's for sure.   Had that occur to me with some old radio
