     37  1.1  christos In the 1946 movie <em>A Matter of Life and Death</em>
     38  1.1  christos (U.S. title <em>Stairway to Heaven</em>)
     39  1.1  christos there is a reference to British Double Summer Time.
     40  1.1  christos The time does not play a large part in the plot;
     41  1.1  christos it's just a passing reference to the time when one of the
     42  1.1  christos characters was supposed to have died (but didn't).

     46  1.1  christos The 1953 railway comedy movie <em>The Titfield Thunderbolt</em> includes a
     47  1.1  christos play on words on British Double Summer Time. Valentine's wife wants
     48  1.1  christos him to leave the pub and asks him, "Do you know what time it is?"

     53  1.1  christos <li>
     54  1.1  christos The premise of the 1999 caper movie <em>Entrapment</em> involves computers
     55  1.1  christos in an international banking network being shut down briefly at
     56  1.1  christos midnight in each time zone to avoid any problems at the transition
     57  1.1  christos from the year 1999 to 2000 in that zone. (Hmmmm.) If this shutdown
     58  1.1  christos is extended by 10 seconds, it will create a one-time opportunity for
     59  1.1  christos a gigantic computerized theft. To achieve this, at one location the
     60  1.1  christos crooks interfere with the microwave system supplying time signals to
     61  1.1  christos the computer, advancing the time by 0.1 second each minute over the
     62  1.1  christos last hour of 1999. (So this movie teaches us that 0.1 &times; 60 = 10.)

    528  1.1  christos be set ringing; and if that is not sufficient, let cannon be fired in
    529  1.1  christos every street, to wake the sluggards effectually, and make them open
    530  1.1  christos their eyes to see their true interest. All the difficulty will be in
    531  1.1  christos the first two or three days: after which the reformation will be as
    532  1.1  christos natural and easy as the present irregularity; for, <em>ce n'est que le
