I was watching To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar.
What is that appliance or thing beside the stove? It looks like a bread box but it has buttons.
What kind of dryer and stove does Carol Ann have? Love the old wringer and cement tubs in the yard.

The washer and dryer look like GE's to me. I think the box on the left is a bread box, not an appliance.

The washer's a GE for sure, but that dryer is confusing me... My first thought was a Hotpoint (and it may be a Penncrest, which was made by Hotpoint but with some styling differences).

Dryer is a Hotpoint.

There is another scene in the kitchen where Carol Ann is loading the washer but we only get a quick glimpse of the inside. Likely a blue straight-vane Activator. It's nearly the same model I have now and grew up with, though mine is a couple of years older.

It's funny how blue flames look yellow in color film or video. It makes any gas cooking experience look nastier and dirtier than it really is.

Flame

They cut down the air at the burner orfice, to make flame yellow. Blue flame dosnt show on film.
