Actress Mary Astor and a Victor Credenza in a scene from the movie "The Lost Squadron." Although the movie was released in 1932, this scene was supposed to take place very soon after the end of WW I, not 7+ years later. Enjoy the image before it disappears.

loves listening to opera on his credenza. At one point he winds it, and you clearly hear the distinctive ticking of the spring pawl.
