Mechanical Music in the Movies
By Mark Singleton

In the largely unknown 1963 comedy film, "The Mouse on the Moon",
starring British stalwart of film and TV, the irrepressible
Bernard Cribbins, a Polyphon Mikado can be seen in situ in a public
bar at 22.30.

The whole film can be viewed here:  https://youtu.be/erHiVNYFdgU 
It's worth watching for many rare props, including a rather
splendid Dursley Pederson.

P.S.: If anyone would like a Mikado, there's a pretty good
unrestored one for sale on eBay.  A YouTube video is at
