Being more of a memorabilia guy...



In Otto Preminger's wonderful "Laura" (1944), a small baseball dexterity puzzle ("Bases Loaded", maybe)

has a fairly prominent role as a prop in the hands of Dana Andrews, who plays a detective investigating

the murder of the beautiful "Laura." In several scenes, as I recall, the cop is fiddling with the toy as

he gathers clues and talks to suspects. Great movie.


(edited to add still from movie, thanks Anthony S.--I guess "Bases Loaded" was not it...)
