Robyn Miller read my comments about how I wish I had a pair of glasses like the ones the Telstar Combo wore (and may still wear, for all I know), and he pointed me to this amazing vintange eyeglass frame store. I'm choosing a pair now.

Vintage eyeglasses are a great link to the past, but if you're just interested in the style, you might consider a company called Shuron, who still make the retro styles. I spend a few months looking for a good pair of retro glasses in vintage shops around town, but they were the wrong size (did 1950's men have tiny heads?) or very distressed, suggesting that they might not hold up to renewed use. Since the Shuron glasses are new, you get them without scratches and in a perfect fit.
Their website claims that if you've seen vintage glasses in a movie, you've seen Shuron frames.
I'm ordering a pair of the Ronsir Zyl, but from what I can see (the Telstar Combo is over bandwith right now, and I haven't looked for a cached version yet) the glasses you referenced look like the Sidewinder
Since I learned of the company, I've found that many local dealers can order a pair for me, and I can also order them online from most retailers like www.eyeglass.com and www.eyeglasses.com.
