That doesn’t look like an Alvis speedometer. |

I wouldn't take the speedometer as evidence that the car is not a Alvis. Making a replica speedometer that could be rigged to display whatever speed you wanted would be much easier than trying to film the car's real dashboard. -- Last edit: 2023-09-16 20:43:45 |

One for IMDb's Goofs section then. ![]() |

No, I was taking it as evidence that American film companies view their audiences as dolts. |

For my money, this whole movie serves as the evidence of that, given that they threw out most of P.G. Wodehouse's wit and replaced it with a generic espionage plot, with an insulting black stereotype tagging along, to boot. |

The speedometer is that of a 1935 Pontiac. |

I thought that it looked fairly depressing. Morris had a period of putting the minor instruments in the speedometer at about the same time in the 30s. |

Nice. As I said, one for the Goofs section on IMDb as the movie suggests it belongs to the Alvis. -- Last edit: 2023-09-16 21:36:57 |

As an ex-Alvis employee I try to do my best, they are paying part of my pension. At least the Alvis Speed Eagle looks unmessed about. -- Last edit: 2023-09-16 21:45:29 |
