1.1SchristosIn the 1946 movie <em>A Matter of Life and Death</em>
1.1Schristos(U.S. title <em>Stairway to Heaven</em>)
1.1Schristosthere is a reference to British Double Summer Time.
1.1SchristosThe time does not play a large part in the plot;
1.1Schristosit's just a passing reference to the time when one of the
1.1Schristoscharacters was supposed to have died (but didn't).

1.1SchristosThe 1953 railway comedy movie <em>The Titfield Thunderbolt</em> includes a
1.1Schristosplay on words on British Double Summer Time. Valentine's wife wants
1.1Schristoshim to leave the pub and asks him, "Do you know what time it is?"

1.1Schristos<li>
1.1SchristosThe premise of the 1999 caper movie <em>Entrapment</em> involves computers
1.1Schristosin an international banking network being shut down briefly at
1.1Schristosmidnight in each time zone to avoid any problems at the transition
1.1Schristosfrom the year 1999 to 2000 in that zone. (Hmmmm.) If this shutdown
1.1Schristosis extended by 10 seconds, it will create a one-time opportunity for
1.1Schristosa gigantic computerized theft. To achieve this, at one location the
1.1Schristoscrooks interfere with the microwave system supplying time signals to
1.1Schristosthe computer, advancing the time by 0.1 second each minute over the
1.1Schristoslast hour of 1999. (So this movie teaches us that 0.1 &times; 60 = 10.)

1.1Schristos<li>
1.1SchristosThe idea behind daylight saving time was first proposed as a joke by
1.1SchristosBenjamin Franklin. To enforce it, he suggested, "Every
1.1Schristosmorning, as soon as the sun rises, let all the bells in every church
1.1Schristosbe set ringing; and if that is not sufficient, let cannon be fired in
1.1Schristosevery street, to wake the sluggards effectually, and make them open
1.1Schristostheir eyes to see their true interest. All the difficulty will be in
1.1Schristosthe first two or three days: after which the reformation will be as
1.1Schristosnatural and easy as the present irregularity; for, <em>ce n'est que le
1.1Schristospremier pas qui co&ucirc;te</em>."
