Been watching a lot of classic Film Noir in the last few weeks. I noticed a couple of watches in Kansas City Confidential:



Do you guys know any other watches featured in movies from the 1940s to the 1950s?

 

A beautiful Mido center minute chronograph.

 

Looks like a Hamilton CLD of some sort from the late 40's. Perhaps a Steeldon?

 

Sir Alec Guiness in "The Lady Killers" 1955

Mostly done on a soundstage but lots of cool mid 50's location shots of London proper in this one...

+ an amazing cast

 

Here are more:

Kirk Douglas in Ace in the Hole:


James Stewart in Rear Window:


Rififi:


Dick Powell in Cornered:


Dial M for Murder:


Crimewave:


And Bogey's Longines in Casablanca:
