The Underwood they used in "Populaire," was like many typewriters I'd seen in movies and television programs of the 1950s. One such typewriter was the one in the movie "Godzilla." Raymond Burr played an investigative reporter visiting a friend in Japan, where a prehistoric monster was resurrected by Atomic bombs (wasn't everything then?). Anyway, Raymond Burr was at the front of this machine, which by the way, had tape over the "Underwood" label on the back cover (which for some reason gets lost alot on these machines). And, I know this is a very old thread, but I have a question. But before I ask it, I will observe that toward the end of this vignette, Raymond Burr was supposed to be typing, but from the sound the typewriter was making, he was only using the space bar. And now the question: In these movies, how many of the "typists" are actually typing something? Have you ever wondered when you hear the clacking of keys, whether or not (when you can't see what they're typing) they were typing something, and if so, what? Some movies that do a closeup of what's being printed you can see, but when you can see the back of the typewriter, the typist, nothing else, and you hear typing, what is this dude (or dudette) putting on the page?
