La Confidential (1997)

Corrected entry: At the beginning when Bud is in the liquor store, and he first talks to Lynn, you see an overhead mic at the top of the screen. The next fee shots are from different angles or with the camera pulled away, but just before he leaves, they go back to the same scene between Bud and Lynn and the mic is there again as he says goodbye.

Correction: Please rewatch the scene (time 00:09:05 and 00:09:23). It's not an "overhead mic at the top of the screen" in those two shots. What you see is the dark image of a pipe tobacco pack on the white background of a metal sign, attached to the liquor shelves. The sign reads "Cool Mild 10ยข" with lower part of a pipe tobacco pack. The vintage sign is for "Granger Rough Cut Pipe Tobacco" from Liggett and Myers Tobacco. Here's an identical sign: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtg-granger-rough-cut-pipe-tobacco-440971789.
