Mechanical Music in the Movies
By Ingmar Krause

Hi!  Yesterday I zapped into a movie called "The Secret Agent", on
ShowCase.  There was a scene with Robin Williams and Gerard Depardieu
in a bar (?) around 1900 (?), and a brown player piano kept popping
into the picture.

It was playing and was one with the special feature of "ghost keys" or
"the jumping keys".  As I'm not a player-piano specialist I can't tell
what model it was, but perhaps someone else knows the movie (or is it
in our Archives already?).
