I remember a film in which Burgess Meredith is walking along the
cobblestones under the Brooklyn Bridge while the rain pours down.
The movie, "Winterset" (1936), based on Maxwell Anderson's Broadway
play, was on TV the other night.

Shortly after it begins, a man, along with his family, wheels a street
piano along the cobblestones.  He begins to crank it, playing Siboney
and a few more tunes.  A street party begins, people throw coins,
others start to dance.  Then the police come to break it up.  At the
end of the picture the street piano saves our hero and his girlfriend.
