We watch a lot of classic black and white films and I have always enjoyed the kitchen scenes, but now always quickly scan for Chambers ranges.
We are in the middle of a 1948 film with Constance Bennett entitled "Smart Woman". She is a lawyer who lives in this fabulous upscale apartment, tastefully appointed of course, and walks into the kitchen with her boyfriend. I am admiring the kitchen layout with white metal cabinets as her boyfriend walks over to the stove. Then I see the familiar doors and thumb latches and my pulse quickens as he leans over to retrieve a salt shaker from the shelf. I grab the remote to pause, yelling, "That's a Chambers range!"
It appeared to be a B Silverlite and was the year before the premiere of the C model. I am hoping that tonight they will go back into the kitchen and probably will because that is where some of the best intimate scenes happen, just like in our real homes and at parties.
I think I saw another one once but forgot which movie it was in. Has anyone else spotted them in other films, other than the more recent Julia movie?

The Real Simple example--with the wrong grates is pictured on a page titled, "7 common cooking mistakes". How ironic!

Chambers spotted last night on the premier of Revolution. I think you can watch it online if you missed it.

A high back C on the DIY Off the Grid(home was in upstate NY). Lots of screen time and the new owner was talking up the griddle/broiler. However I was cringing at the way they moved it into the cabin, for the camera I assume they left it all assembled. Lucky the grates didn't come off.

The last stove I brought home was Standard Heater (A series with an incinerator built on it) in a cabin in a very remote part of Idaho and the sellers put it in their pickup fully assembled, not tied down, and drove 40 miles on washboard and pothole gravel forest service road, then 35 miles to the town northwest of Boise where his storage yard was (he was a masonry contractor). Bent the heck out of the art deco legs and added a couple of chips to the enamel when they unloaded it with his forklift but the rest of the stove did fine. When I started pulling out grates, burners, incinerator parts and so on they had a fit that the stuff was just sitting there and so easy to remove.
