"Charley Varrick" has a good segment with Sheree North shooting ID pics of Walter Matthau in her studio. Camera looks like a B&J Orbit or Calumet 4X5. Does the darkslide thing and flips the holder between shots. Great movie.

removes the film holder from the camera, composes, snaps the shutter, and then reinserts the holder back into the camera. I believe this was the second time I've seen that in old movies. I'm not familiar with the Speed Graphic.
Don't know the camera neither or the movie, but could it be dark slide instead of a film holder? Probably sheet film?
