Poor remasters led to a decades-long fan war over the true color of one of these objects depicted in the film Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry. Guillermo Cabrera Infante wrote the screenplay for a 1971 film in which a man trying to take one of these objects to San Francisco is aided by the blind DJ “Super Soul,” played by Cleavon Little.
