Leica on TV or the movies :)

There is a Contax G--could not see it long enough to tell if it is a 1 or a 2--in a commercial for some granola bars. Just saw the ad last night.

Ferider, three words I never expected to read in the same sentence: Stallone, Expendables, Leica. You've got me wondering exactly how much wine I really drank with my evening meal...
 
just watched "High Art" on netflix last night and enjoyed it for the most part. some great photography by lucy berliner (ally sheedy) and many cameos by her chrome M2.

Unless I missed it somewhere in this thread, the unfortunate couple who wander in to sanitarium in American Horror Story this season. The dude is shooting his girl with an M9.
 
Thats the second time I know that Bradley Cooper has used a Leica on screen - the other time being in Midnight Meat Train, where I believe he had his greasy mitts on an M4-P.
 
A Leica IIIc or IIIf was prominently shown a few times during a drug/pharmaceutical commercial. Drug name started with "E".

The setting was of a mom or grand-mom taking pictures of a young daughter/gran-daughter outdoors.

I saw that last week and made a photo off the screen with my phone. In the last few years there's definitely been a trend of showing film cameras in advertisements.

Robert Pattinson as Dennis Stock, in Life, a film about Stock’s friendship with James Dean, with double-stroke (top marks to the props department) M3.

How can we tell it's a double-stroke?

Credit goes to the actor for reasonably proper handling of the camera.
 
I think the movie was called Mogambo, with Clark Gable, Ave Gardener, Grace Kelly and other well-known stars from the time. It was an African "safari" genre film, and in some scenes I remember seeing one of the actors or actresses with a shiny new looking Leica III series of some sort equipped with a long lens and an external finder - to shoot pics of big game, etc. It's been a while, but I seem to remember several scenes with the accessorized Leica in it - pretty cool stuff for vintage Leica fans.
