   That's the new spy thriller, loosely based   
   on the capture, arrest, conviction, and   
   then.. trading of Russkie spy Col. Rudolph Abel   
   for US Weather Plane Pilot Gary Powers.   
      
   Since the Colonel was based in Brookln, and the   
   prosecution took place in Federal Court,   
   Eastern District of NY - namely what's   
   generally referred to as the Brooklyn   
   Federal Court House, there were lots of   
   scenes in that borough.   
      
   Including.. Tom Hanks riding the subway.   
   (Most scenes have it aboveground so we   
   see parts of Brooklyn in the background).   
      
   Anyway, this is taking place between 1957   
   and Feb, 1962   
      
   My question: the subway cars they were in   
   had fluorescent lighting.   
      
   Seems to me the movie jumped the gun   
   a bit on that one...   
      
   All the subway cars I remember being in   
   back in those days were incandescent.   
      
   Anyone see the movie who can comment?   
      
   Thanks
