Picking up an old thread...
Herbert and I just saw the 1951 film No Highway in the Sky

Yes, this is based on a Neville Shute story, stars James Stewart and
Marlene Dietrich.
James Stewart's character's daughter is interested in
crystallography, and her name is Elspeth (a BCA connection?)

This was mentioned in Marv Hackert's outgoing remarks at the ACA meeting a
few years ago, and he showed the clip of the scene. Jimmy Stewart's
comment is apt: It's quite fundamental. It's really odd to me that the
schools don't teach it.

The book by Nevil Shute was written in 1948 and the movie
was made in 1951. In 1950 he moved from UK to Australia.
Peeking in the World Directory it turns out that Elspeth Garman
was born after all these events. Perhaps her parents liked
the movie and were prescient about her future career.

Hi Harry-
X-ray crystallography played an integral part in discoveries made in Michael
Crichton's Andromeda Strain. Mainly it was used to determine the elemental
composition and arrangement of the capsid or shell that the foreign
organism was found within.
