Re: [ccp4bb] X-Ray films
Picking up an old thread... Herbert and I just saw the 1951 film No Highway in the Sky and it has several mentions of crystallography.

Re: [ccp4bb] X-Ray films
Yes, this is based on a Neville Shute story, stars James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich. James Stewart's character's daughter is interested in crystallography, and her name is Elspeth (a BCA connection?) On 27 Mar 2011, at 21:04, Frances C. Bernstein wrote: Picking up an old thread...

Re: [ccp4bb] X-Ray films
This was mentioned in Marv Hackert's outgoing remarks at the ACA meeting a few years ago, and he showed the clip of the scene. Jimmy Stewart's comment is apt: It's quite fundamental. It's really odd to me that the schools don't teach it.

Re: [ccp4bb] X-Ray films
The book by Nevil Shute was written in 1948 and the movie was made in 1951. In 1950 he moved from UK to Australia. Peeking in the World Directory it turns out that Elspeth Garman was born after all these events. Perhaps her parents liked the movie and were prescient about her future career. Seems unlikely, however. Amazing what one can find out in a few minutes these days.
