PLEASANTVILLE (1998) - The TV Repairman's (Don Knotts) TV Remote
The TV Repairman’s (Don Knotts) TV remote from Gary Ross’ fantasy drama, Pleasantville. In the film, a mysterious TV repairman supplies a brother and sister with a magical remote control, which transports the pair into a 1950s family sitcom. This remote is one of two made for the film and screen-matches, via a mark on its side, to the scene in which the repairman gives the remote to David (Tobey Maguire).

Constructed of milled aluminium and plastic, this remote control features a small red light bulb at the top, with a red power button and white mute button. Additionally, there are three black faux buttons for volume, channel and contrast. The back of the device has a removable lid which houses the battery compartment and interior electronics. Inside this compartment the phrase “2 of 2” is hand-engraved, along with the initials J.W.R. The device requires four AA batteries to operate, but its electronics will need repairing in order for it to operate.

Accompanying the lot is a certificate of authenticity from New Line Cinema. There is minor cosmetic wear to the lettering, but this piece remains in very fine overall condition. Dimensions: 23 cm x 5 cm x 5.5 cm (9” x 2” x 2 ½”)
