351.1Schristos<ul>
361.1Schristos<li>
371.1SchristosIn the 1946 movie <em>A Matter of Life and Death</em>
381.1Schristos(U.S. title <em>Stairway to Heaven</em>)
391.1Schristosthere is a reference to British Double Summer Time.
401.1SchristosThe time does not play a large part in the plot;
411.1Schristosit's just a passing reference to the time when one of the
421.1Schristoscharacters was supposed to have died (but didn't).
431.5Schristos(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038733/">IMDb entry.</a>)
441.3Schristos(Dave Cantor)
451.1Schristos<li>
461.1SchristosThe 1953 railway comedy movie <em>The Titfield Thunderbolt</em> includes a
471.1Schristosplay on words on British Double Summer Time. Valentine's wife wants
481.1Schristoshim to leave the pub and asks him, "Do you know what time it is?"
491.1SchristosAnd he, happy where he is, replies: "Yes, my love. Summer double time."

511.3Schristos(Mark Brader, 2009-10-02)
521.1Schristos</li>
531.1Schristos<li>
541.1SchristosThe premise of the 1999 caper movie <em>Entrapment</em> involves computers
551.1Schristosin an international banking network being shut down briefly at
561.1Schristosmidnight in each time zone to avoid any problems at the transition
571.1Schristosfrom the year 1999 to 2000 in that zone. (Hmmmm.) If this shutdown
581.1Schristosis extended by 10 seconds, it will create a one-time opportunity for
591.1Schristosa gigantic computerized theft. To achieve this, at one location the
601.1Schristoscrooks interfere with the microwave system supplying time signals to
611.1Schristosthe computer, advancing the time by 0.1 second each minute over the
621.1Schristoslast hour of 1999. (So this movie teaches us that 0.1 &times; 60 = 10.)

5231.1SchristosThe idea behind daylight saving time was first proposed as a joke by
5241.1SchristosBenjamin Franklin. To enforce it, he suggested, "Every
5251.1Schristosmorning, as soon as the sun rises, let all the bells in every church
5261.1Schristosbe set ringing; and if that is not sufficient, let cannon be fired in
5271.1Schristosevery street, to wake the sluggards effectually, and make them open
5281.1Schristostheir eyes to see their true interest. All the difficulty will be in
5291.1Schristosthe first two or three days: after which the reformation will be as
5301.1Schristosnatural and easy as the present irregularity; for, <em>ce n'est que le
