[PW] ? 1970s Prescription Pill Bottles

For use in a movie being shot locally, we need to find a pill bottle
(or image thereof) from ca. 1978.  They need it by Sunday, and it will
be in close-up so it needs to be realistic.  This would probably be
something with a typed label, as opposed to (for example) what is
shown in the Physician's Desk Reference.

I remember aspirin bottles but am a little fuzzy on what prescriptions
looked like.  The person I spoke with at the nearby National Bottle
Museum thought they should be plastic.  There's a drugstore museum at
an area college, but no one is answering there.

Perhaps a movie of that era in which someone is taking pills?  If I
could think of a title I'd see what we have on the shelf.

Thanks for any suggestions!
