The picture on the page below also shows a Speed Graphic
mis-identified as a Graflex. It has its bellows almost fully extended,
common in movies, and there a couple of flashguns. Flasbulbs did not
appear until the early 1930s. Speed Graphics were made but most press
photographers used Graflex SLRs until a bit later than this. For the
most part movies makers are hopeless about authenticity; they just
don't care. I suppose they think the audience will never notice or will
be to ignorant to know. Or maybe its the movie makers who are ignorant.

"The great Gatsby" (2013) is a movie set in 1922, however there is
a scene where a Rolleicord III is used to take photographs; the
Rolleicord III was made from November 1950 up to July 1953; you
can see it's a III and it's not a IV because it does not have the
"M-X" button below the taking lens and it does not have the double
exposure button below the viewing lens. The Rolleicord III in the
movie is an anachronism clearly.
"The great Gatsby" 2013 version with Leonardo di Caprio has others
anachronisms like the cars model. A previous version (1974) with
Robert Redford had less anachronisms, if my memory serves me good;
both versions are based on the Scott Fitzgerald's novel.
