Carousel and Organ in "I'm Not Rappaport!"
By Steve Matta

I saw a Walter Matthau movie on HBO the other day called, "I'm
Not Rappaport," which was mostly filmed in Central Park in New York.
There were reoccurring shots of a carousel with functioning band organ
-- did anyone see it?

It starts to rain and the scene shifts to an old boat house where it
appears that park employees store things, including a 2nd band organ.
Can this be?  Or are we seeing the magic of Hollywood?  Hey, anything
is possible in New York!

Any details on the instrument(s) in the park?  I know nothing about the
park and it would not surprise me if the carousel was pasted-in for the
movie.  If it isn't actually in New York, where is it?
