Mechanical Music in the Movies
By Don Teach
There was a movie with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor that had the opening scene with a taxi driver taking a pair of pliers to one of the stars to get his money. The cab driver bounced the star up against a big Wurlitzer C type orchestrion. I don't remember much else about the movie.
"McCabe and Miss Miller" had a Seeburg Junior in the bar scene, and The Al Capone story had a Seeburg J in one scene. I don't remember which one of the Capone movies it was in.
