Just the opposite ...
In 1977/78 as I was watching the movie Cross of Iron (which was turning out to be pretty good in the "hardware" department), I almost launched out of my seat when the T-34 turret on what I was sure was a good mock-up of a T-34 turned ... and I realized that it was a real T-34! WHOA!
I had read the (excellent!) book prior to seeing the movie but that T-34 wiped away all of the screenplay deficiencies for me.
