Philco 40-180 seven-tube AM radio from 1940, being sold for parts but I'm sure someone could figure out which vacuum tube to change to get it back into gear.

During the scene where James Stewart hiccups when drunk, you can see Cary Grant looking down and grinning. Since the hiccup wasn't scripted, Grant was on the verge of breaking out laughing and had to compose himself quickly. Stewart (apparently spontaneously) thought of hiccuping in the drunk scene, without telling Grant. When he began hiccuping, Grant turned to Stewart, saying, "Excuse me." Grant turned his head to stifle his laughter and said, "Nothing". The scene required only one take.

My mistake was I didn't realize that the difference between this glamorous lady and me was that she was with the Comédie-Française… and I was with Matuschek and Company.
