They can't get it right can they?

A bit of trivia but I found it amusing.

I was watching last night on TV a 2014 film called "Queen and Country," about two young men who were called up to do their National Service in 1952. On leave, they were with two girls in a café.
You clearly see one of the girls walk up to a Wurlitzer "Bubbler" jukebox in the café and select a record.
You can also clearly see it's an, OMT45, a "One More Time." Earliest date of production is 1987.

There was a re-showing recently of a BBC TV drama series WPC 56. It's about a female police officer in 1956.
Again in a scene in a café, in one episode, you can clearly see a Ditchburn Music Maker jukebox. It was a model from 1968.

They can get it right sometimes.

In the classic 1947 noir film. "Out of the Past," Robert Mitchum visits a roadside café and in it you see an immaculate Wurlitzer 1015. Well it would be wouldn't it, as they were made in 1946.
