'Puppet On A Chain'
By Philip Jamison

I just saw the 1972 film "Puppet On A Chain" (rented via the www).
It includes "De Klok", the famous Dutch street organ now, I believe,
in Australia.  There are a couple close-ups, but it plays the same tune
each time it's shown.  It's turned by hand.  I'm not sure if they used
the actual organ shown, but it's definitely a pierement.

There are also some nice vintage scenes of Amsterdam with the police
driving VW Beetles.  The plot (a heroin smuggling scheme devised by
Alistair MacKlean) is poor, however.
