While I was at Lehigh U. the Metallurgy dept. presented (for fun) a movie
starring Jimmy Stewart as an absent-minded materials engineer.  It has to be
one of the few movies with an engineer as hero, and perhaps the *only* one
about a metallurgist.  Marlene Dietrich was co-star, and the movie was just
wonderful... I just wish I could remember the title.  Maybe it was something
like "No [something] in the Sky".  The basic plot was that Stewart had to 
figure out why the wings kept falling off a new airplane before too many
people died.
I'm just not sure that catching the dreaded glitch with a logic analyzer will
have quite the same impact...
