The Vacuum Cleaner in the Movie...

[ge1969]

How about this? If you look close at a scene with the late Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams in Brokeback Mountain, there's a Regina Electricbroom leaning against the wall of the apartment. Personally, I think a nice blue 66 Air-Way or an Electrolux LX would have been better. Trg

Karen Black or Linda Blair? Both horroresses

Burnt Offerings

Is that the one where the house fixes itself & she stays in the attic?

Karen Black

 

[ge1969]

Yep, that's Burnt Offerings alright. Loved the huge old house and the vintage Kirby that she wrestles with on the stairs. Trg

The vacuum in "The Borrowers" was a Royal not a kirby. There's also one a little later on where he has the borrowers under the bin. Also, it's a senior in Shaun Of The Dead not a junior.

Remember the movie with Drew Barrymore called Poison Ivy when the maid uses an old coffee can Hoover to clean up coffee grounds from the kitchen floor. You can tell that she never really turned on that Hoover, it sounded like a shop vac in the back ground.

Here is a good one
Estelle Geddy in Stop! Or my Mom will shoot. She is cleaning her sons appartment in the middle of the night with a if I remember right f & g Eureka.

In the Ryan Oneal,Barbara Stisand movie "The Main Event", from 1976-77, she is cleaning their appartment with a Red Kirby Classic 3 that dosent even have a cord! She is also singing while she is 'vacuuming', so maybe thats why.

I remember a Lucy Show episode (the later version, from the late 60s,-early 70s with "Mr Mooney") where Lucy is selling vacuums door to door. The vacuum is a Hoover Portable suitcase type. Lucy goes schlepping all over the neighborhood with the vacuum case wide open, hose,cord and attachments all falling out all over.
There's an early eposide of I Love Lucy where she tries selling vacuums door to door. (i think its a Westinghouse vacuum)When she comes home with the vacuum in tow, she says "Youve just witnessed the death of another salesman!"

but what about the machine in Rosemary's Baby? surely somebody here has an idea.

Anyone remember which Pink Panther movie it is that the good inspector is cleaning with a eureka commercial machine and sucks up the canary then trys to get it out without turning off the machine and gets pulled in himself? I bought the Pink Panther set hoping to find it but couldnt so either there is another movie or its been edited out.

Rosemary's Baby:

If anyone knows about the vac, I'd be grateful to know. I've also been trying to I.D. the yellow refrigerator seen in the movie, so if anyone knows about that, I'd be very happy to find that out, too.

Rosemary's Baby Vacuum Cleaner

is in this YouTube clip. I thought it could be a Hoover Junior. The woman who recently died was 89 years old.

 

[clothbag]

In the movie Blondie Takes a Vacation I believe a Hoover was used. There is something wrong with the bag and Dagwood uses a tire inner tube for the bag which becomes quite large and the vacuum floats up to the ceiling if I remember correctly.

 

[eluxca]

In one of the Blondie movies, a Hoover 150 plays a big part. A hotel super is using the vacuum in the lobby and it quits working. Dagwood and a friend become so intrigued with the vac they sneak it to their room and attempt to service the machine. Is this the same movie you are talking about, clothbag?

I do remember the tire tube hoover

Is was a 541 hoover I think. I do remember the 150 in the outher movie it quite working and thay took it up to there hotel room to fix it. I think thay got arested for haveing it with them.

[No message]

 

[charles~richard]

There are Hoover vacuums in other Blondie movies as well.......

 

[turbo500]

I was watching a Friends seris 1 Episode and Monica has a Rainbow out in it

 

[rugmaster37]

I think it look like....

It looks like a suction polisher thing. It really doesn't look like a vacuum. the front of the machine seems rounded, instead of a straight across nozzle.

I'm stumped. If I was to guess a vacuum tho It would probably be a Universal. They always had a weird looking upright vacuum.

Home Alone 3

In Home Alone 3, Where Alex is in the attic, if you look closely there is a Eureka F & G with a tape measure flying right by it. I am not exactly sure what model it is. You will see it clearly in one of the scenes.
