[78-L] records on film

[simmonssomer]

How about that  Fred Astaire movie in which he places paper cut-out of a 
dancing couple on a rotating phonograph turntable. The cutout throws a 
shadow on the wall simulating a dancing couple which fools an aspiring beau 
lurking in an adjoining room into believing that the object of his affection 
is safely dancing in that room. Astaire and Ginger are, of course, long gone 
doing nothing naughty because they never did.
A lot of work, little reward.
