More Headlines
This from the movie Look Back In Anger:
A Woman's Ghastly Ordeal
SEX PILLS
by a mother whose
voice went husky
and who lost her
liking for knitting
By Mrs. Phyllis Pride
I felt like a dusty, crumbled moth, pinned on a collector's card...

Never seen this movie, either, but I think I'll wait until I chance upon it on cable or something (assuming I one day get cable). The poster for the movie on wikipedia is mostly the less-than-inspiring blurb:
"The audience was jolted as if they'd been sitting for two hours in an electric chair."
Also, that's either a small audience or a large electric chair.
But, she 'lost her liking for knitting'! Sorry, I'm just quoting headlines here. Though I'm sure the editor saw the 6 frames of film that captured the image of the headlines, I wonder if they were aware at the time that in the future people could digitally see those 6 frames individually. It flashes by, in real time so fast that the most you can see is "Sex Pills" (which of course is why I rewound and checked out the rest of the story...). Of course it may've been a real newspaper, a real story, but nevertneless, well, I appreciate the eye for detail.
