While sitting home listening to hurricane Ivan whistling outside yesterday
I decided to pass the time by re-watching "A Beautiful Mind." I didn't
notice any slide rules in the movie itself, but in one of the "deleted
scenes" on the DVD edition I saw what appeared to be a box or case for a
slide rule. It's in the scene where Alicia goes through John's desk to
find his address book and then tries to call his non-existent friend
Charles Herman. The first drawer she opens contains a long, worn blue case
of some sort. It's just about the right size and proportions to hold a 10"
rule. The case appears to be made in two parts that slip together, similar
to the plastic case for one of my Post 1447 rules or the cardboard slipcase
for my Russian-made rule. I'd appreciate it if anyone who has access to
the DVD could check this and see what you think. If needed, I could grab a
screen capture of that scene although I'd have to email it to you because I
don't currently have a web site where I could post it.
