Anachronisms in fiction, do you notice them?

Yes, I do. "Old Yeller" was a 1957 Disney movie, set in post-Civil War Texas. I was ten at the time when I saw it and noticed that Chuck Conners was wearing his pistol in a cut down WW-II M7 shoulder holster for a 1911. Military surplus gear was cheap back then and Disney was in deep financial difficulty.

A couple of more good observations.

“In international politics … you must be either willing to practice appeasement indefinitely, or at some point be ready to fight.”
