Flavor Packet: Player Pianos and Their Cinematic Spell

Guest DJ Andrew Ault shares a motif he’s observed in some of our most beloved films: the use of a old-timey player piano as the director’s ace in the hole.

Orson Wells did it. So did François Truffaut. And Paul Thomas Anderson.

Andrew shares three of his favorites, with music by Georges Delerue, Henry Mancini, and Jon Brion.
