La Confidential (1997)

Corrected entry: License plate numbers are incorrect. In the 1950s, there were 5 digit plates, but in the film, there are 6 or 7, like nowadays. (00:37:40)

Correction: Six-digit license plates were used in California as early as 1917, and were used regularly throughout the 1930's and 1940's. The scheme shown on the cars in the 1952-based movie is consistent with the usage at the time. See http://www.davesclp.com/california.htm for examples.
