Mechanical Music in the Movies
By Ron Bopp

Has anyone ever compiled a list of mechanical musical instruments in the movies. It would be fun to have a master list and I would be glad to compile and put back on MMD if I could get some help.

One of the fun movies I have seen is a 1-hour documentary called "Beethoven Lives Upstairs", which, of course, is a story about Ludwig Beethoven. It shows, on a couple of occasions, an organ grinder playing before a crowd. John Goodman (from Springfield, MO) played in a movie that featured a musical box but I can't remember the name.

Anyway, is this worth anything ? Let me know and I will catalog by instrument, movie, etc.
