arkwright Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Previously I or someone else may have posted a still from this movie "The Princess Comes Across." Here is a youtube video. I like that the poster on youtube wrote "Some sources claim that MacMurray plays it himself in the film, but it's more likely it was dubbed." Yes, even more likely than that.

David Barnert Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Interesting. Why all the concertina imagery in the My Three Sons credits (including a push-pull sound at 1:14)? Did MacMurray ever play the instrument on the program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know, but I get the feeling they used it because it sounds like a parody of an anglo concertina, like the hands/credits imagery throughout the video.

But to the common man a reed is a reed. HaHa. The visuals are concertina like. BTW I was listing to this a a fairly decent volume and my dog left the room at the harmonica. She howls with concertinas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
