Modern Music Box in 'Titanic'
By Reg Smith

Although I agree that, overall,  James Cameron did a marvelous job with
Titanic, it is IMHO inexcusable that he would stoop to using a cheap
modern Reuge music box and movement.

With all the millions he spent on replicating everything else used on
the original ship, its a shame he didn't have the sense to use a true
antique music box, which would have sounded and looked far superior to
the tinny sound of that Reuge unit.  Even though very few viewers might
have noticed this,  an anachronism is an anachronism nonetheless.
