Mechanical Music in Film "The Rules of the Game"
By George Epple

I recently viewed the 1930s classic French film, "The Rules of the 
Game", and recommend it to all of you. The main character collects 
automated mechanical musical instruments. Here's a link to one of
the scenes -- can anyone identify the piano?
