Faking It: The Obviously Dubbed Telephone Ring

If you lived in North America any time in the 20th century, you probably ran across one of these telephones. The Western Electric Model 500 and its subsequent variants were so ubiquitous that you almost couldn't go anywhere without seeing one, especially in the United States where it was standard equipment from the phone company. Even if you're not American, if you've seen any of our movies, you'll have seen this phone, too. A literal fixture of American life, this phone was inescapable. But its ubiquity also caused some filmmakers or TV show producers to get a little lazy. This video tells that story. Here's a link to the video of the Model 500 from 1958. Yes I said 1957 in the video. I am truly sorry. My oversight is abhorrent. I am ashamed. You can support this channel on Patreon! Patrons of the channel are what keep these videos coming.
