Whirlpool!

This looks like the model - does anyone have a closeup of the console and picture of the interior?
Manufacturer date says 2/62

The Thrill Of It All was on TCM last night and I caught it from just about the very beginning.  There was also a beautiful Frigidaire Kitchen will all appliances in brushed chrome. 

 

Was this a 1959 or 1960 WP model? The movie was released in 1963.

Paul, I think the washer in the detergent commercial was actually an Imperial and not an Imperial Mark XII.  The one in the "commercial" has 5 wash/rinse temp buttons and a water level dial, there's no programmed cycle buttons. 

 

Jon Charles, I had a very similar reaction when I saw James drive that car into the pool too last night.  And had a gut sickening feeling watching it being retrieved out of said pool.

"The Thrill of it All" is one of my favorite movies with Doris, along with "Please Don't Eat the Daisies".

It's an appropriate time to post this as Doris celebrated her 96th birthday on April 3.

The Rock & Doris 1964 movie Send Me No Flowers also had a Frigidaire Kitchen--I think the appliance colors were yellow.  I think the dishwasher was an Imperial Spin Tube.

The most insidious thing about this movie is that the OBGYN puts an end to his wife's career by getting her pregnant.
