“What kind of pencil am I using?”
“Hold on — it says right here on the supply form.”
“Yeah, here it is. ‘Mongol.’ Funny name for a pencil, eh?”
In Somewhere in the Night (dir. Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1946), Richard Benedict as “Marine Desk Sergeant” shares the screen with a Mongol. But he shouldn’t need to look at a supply form: the ferrule is the giveaway, if not the name Mongol, printed on the pencil.
The Mongol is my favorite pencil, and I’m always on the lookout.

I think the neighbors had Mongol pencils. We seemed to have everything else. That looks like a good film or I haven't seen in 20 years. I guess that's the same thing. I'll check TCM. Thanks
It is good. Take a look at the end of the post — there’s a link for YouTube.
