As I am by profession, a clerk, and my father is a funeral director I have paid particular attention when these trades have been depicted on the screen and I can cite below a few examples.
Funeral parlours in gangster films showing metal caskets and funerals.
Vaults in American cemeteries.
Florists shops showing horseshoe wreaths etc.,
Coroners procedure in America.
Dissections rooms and mortuaries in the Kildare pictures etc. In some mystery films a morgue showing bodies in a huge refrigerated filing cabinet where a mere touch makes the shelf containing the body project from the wall. And in the office category:
Newspaper editors offices showing glass sound proof partitions and office equipment.
Filing systems in the F.B.I, identification Bureau such as records and fingerprinting files.
The use of the dictaphone in Double Indemnity.
The use of statistical machines in a short film made by the M.O.I, about jobs for forces men after the war.
Office films in the Blondie series, and a recent film about Washington showing production charts also records shown in the March of Time pictures.
