Mechanical Music in the Movies

Marilyn Monroe Dances to Barrel Piano Music - What Is The Song?

In the film, "The Prince and the Showgirl," Marilyn Monroe hears
a barrel piano playing outside her hotel room and starts dancing
to the music.  Marilyn's dancing is fun to watch, but what is the
name of the tune?

The scene was recreated in the 2011 film, "My Week With Marilyn,"
starring Michelle Williams.  Here's Marilyn and Michelle dancing
side by side:

If you're not too distracted by the dancing, can you please name
the tune?

Thank you!

 [ I hear a duet by two live studio pianists playing a hard-hammer
 [ piano (i.e., the barrel piano is a mute prop).  The song might
 [ be unique to the film.  -- Robbie
