Meaning "whose." I believe I've posted on inanimate "whose" avoidance (if
that's what it is) before in the context of "thats" and even "which's"
(from the early '80s at least) but this may be the first "which=whose" I've
noticed outside of a freshman theme:

2005 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035970/reviews?ref_=tt_urv : Seems like
a shame when so much bad material is rushed to DVD. 20th Century Fox should
do something about this. After all they have released A YANK IN THE R.A.F
which main claim to fame is Betty Grable and Tyrone Power.
