Sky Captain And The World Of The Past












The end of the movie SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW had a gag involving an Argus C-3 camera. But things were not as they would have it seem, and the last word in the matter and the final joke are on "Sky Captain" himself. 




The trouble is that an Argus C-3 has the shutter cocking and the film advance done as two separate operations. You forget to take the lens cap off and it matters not at all, you simply take the lens cap off and try again. The unexposed frame of film will be there as long as you haven't wound it on.

So the problem that was supposed to have been there would not really have been there at all. Not for the user of an Argus C-3.
