Just got out my copy, the vacuum was a Cadillac tank. Which is ironic, because on the old Abbott and Costello show (not the movie) they used a Lux model 12, Swedish Version, repainted.
In the movie Poltergeist II, the father moves to California and gets a job selling Electrolux. He had the "heavy duty" upright all apart in the living room, trying to figure out the attachment set-up.
Brady Bunch movie used a Lux model L (blue), while the T.V. show used several different machines. Most noteable is the Lux XXX used in the episode where Alice is sick and the kids to the housework, and oversuds the washer. Bobby is using the Lux to suck up the suds.

Just remembered another one. In a Jerry Lewis movie, I think it was "Cinderfella," there is a scene that takes place in a department store. Can't remember if Jerry's character is working in the store or a customer, but he turns on a Hoover (think it was either a 63 or a Convertible) and fumbles around and can't get it to shut off. The bag inflates to an enormous size, and he floats up into the air with it, like a balloon, until someone grabs a gun from the nearby sporting goods department and blasts the bag to get him down.
Still lots of fun seeing all of these everyone is coming up with. Hope someone compiles a list!

Jerry Lewis movie
"Who's Minding the Store" -- released in 1963.
It's a FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS film for Hoover nuts, even those who loathe Jerry Lewis! There are many many shots of not just Hoover vacuums but other appliances on display in the large department store where he works and falls in love with a young lady who works in the store.
[Note to those who have seen it - please don't be a plot spoiler for those who have not!!]
And there's an incredible -- HILARIOUS -- scene at the end where a Hoover 63 runs amok!!
Also starring Agnes Morehead (as the girl's socialite snob mother), Jill St. John (as the girl), and Ray Walston (as the girl's father).
This film is a MUST SEE if you haven't seen it!!

Anyone remember the modified Kirby Classic nicknamed "Jaws" in the movie MR. Mom starring Michael Keaton? The vacuum ends up taking over the household,tearing down drapes, momentarily chasing the children around the home until it finally gets ahold of one of the kids blankets and Michael Keaton runs in and attacks the vacuum busting it's bag, blowing dust everywhere... then later in the film, the vacuum "walks" up to him and he instructs it to go clean the kids room, threatening it with a screwdriver in one hand... as if he has it trained like a pet..
This is fun...
Hey Tim, I would like to find about that movie. No I have not seem but I would love to. I am a TCM member on line so I will ask and see what I find out.
Charles that would be great I would love to see that movie as well, but has anyone one see tne Laurel and Hardy movie with the vacuums in the store they were managing that day?
And yes thunderhexed I sure have and remember that well, it was to funny how they got that Kirby all mixed up with all kinds of parts from differnt vacuums.
By they way in someones collection doese anyone have a GE commercial? I used one many years ago in a hair salon in Florida, the guy who owned the store let me vacuum his store at the end of the day. I was with friends there who used the guy as her hair stylist. Anyway, the vacuum was different it had to two handles on it like a polisher and it would moved on its own if you didnt keep it in control like a polisher. I have not seen one like this sense.

The movie
I sure wish I could find the name of this old movie. I remember watching it about 20 years ago on AMC. I just can't remember the name of it or who played in it. Please someone tell me I'm not going crazy. Am I the only one who has seen this? I have searched for it using Google and Amazon. I can't find any results.
It was just a movie about a father who invented a vacuum cleaner. He passed the company on to his two sons. They were very wealthy. One of the children is kidnapped and held for ransom. The vacuum cleaner was just an undertone in the movie. The movie was more about their daily lives and circumstances. Although, there were a few good shots of the vacuums. The name of the vacuum was the same as the family's name. I hope it doesn't seem I'm going on and on about this. Tim

Father Is a Prince?
Tim,
Could "Father Is a Prince" be the film you're thinking about? I did a search on IMDB and this film turned up. See the link for details. It doesn't mention anything about a kidnapping though.

I know this is an old thread, but I have to chime in. I remember an episode of the show "Rhoda" (I think it was a spinoff of the Mary Tyler Moore show) where she's vacuuming her apartment with a Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50. It was loud and definitely the sound of a Kirby.

tv vacuums
Bachelor Father had the following vacuums on it.A Hoover 634,& a Compact,during the first two seasons. As the show was produced by Revue,who also did "Leave it to Beaver". I think these vacuums were also used on Beaver. You only see the 634 briefly on the first episode of beaver.Connie Gilchrest,who was also Auntie Mames'maid is carrying it through the kitchen in the Cleavers'old house.They also used a GE swivel top,on Bachelor Father,as well as a Hoover 913,when the great character actress Kathleen Freeman, was their maid on one episode.Both shows moved to Universal studios in the 1959-60 season,& the moves were written into the shows.That's when June Cleaver, & the Greggs'got their larger homes.GE sponsored them,so they had the latest appliances-June's bottom freezer fridge,built in stove w/push button controls & the Greggs' double wall ovens.

Hazel's vacuums
Hazel had the following vacuums. The pilot shows her putting an old Eureka-I believe,you only see the handle-in the broom closet. She also has a Modern Hygene canister. They did a show where she got a new vacuum,it was a bojacked Electrolux that was a piece of junk. Hazel went to the stockholders meeting,complained,& got a new one.When she went to live w/Mr.Baxters' brother they had a Birtman Kenmore upright 1169815-my mothers'vacuum, & an Electrolux XXX.I always found it funny that the first Baxter family had such old machines.Even the new one she got didn't have a powermate.The guy was a lawyer for chrrisakes,& look at the size of that house!You mean he was so cheap,he couldn't buy her a Convertible,& a lux w/powermate!I'll bet she was glad his brother had some decent machines!The Kenmore probably outlived Hazel,we still have my mom's.
