Jukeboxes In Films

[doghouseriley]

I often notice these in films and TV programmes. One memorable one for me, was a brand new Wurlitzer 1015, in a scene in a diner in the 1947 Robert Mitchum film, "Out of the Past."

Tonight on the Talking Pictures Channel there was unbelievably bad 1963 pop music short, which featured this jukebox at the beginning.

It was obviously new, but I didn't recognise it at all. There was a tiny badge centre top of the dome glass.

I'd be (slightly) curious if anyone knew the make.

It's a Bergmann, see www.jukebox-world.de/Forum/Archiv/Bergmann/BergmannSymphonieS200.htm#Stereo

Thanks for that.
I've found some information on Jukebox World.
It was probably made in 1959 using a Mills mechanism.

It's the Bergmann S200D built in 1961: www.jukebox-world.de/Forum/Archiv/Bergmann/BergmannSymphonieS200.htm#200D
The mechanism used was not 100% Mills, but most likely based on it.

For what it's worth, this is the brand new 1015 I mentioned in my first post, in the opening scene of the 1947 film noir, "Out of the Past."

An early example of "product placement?"

An expensive machine in a little café in a small town in the back of nowhere. 

It being there, isn't of any importance to the plot.
