[Harp-L] Re: Harmonica in the Movies



The Jimmy Stewart film is Pot O' Gold, and the off screen harmonica player is Jerry Adler. Jerry coached Jimmy as to how he held the harmonica in a very convincing way. Also heard but not onscreen is the Cappy Barra Boys, while the Horace Heidt Orchestra hold the harmonicas onscreen.

Ocean's Eleven (the original) - harmonica duo is George Fields and Tommy Morgan (off screen).

The Wild One - the infamous Danny Welton, playing on camera.

Meet Danny Wilson (Frank Sinatra film) - again, Danny Welton, but is unconvincing as his playing does not match the movements onscreen.

Rear Window (original) - Leo Diamond background music off camera

Elvis Presley's 1968 Comeback Special - Tommy Morgan (off camera)

Coney Island - Leo Diamond, Richard Hayman, Abe Diamond oncamera
Sweet Rosie O'Grady - Leo Diamond, Richard Hayman, Abe Diamond oncamera

and don't forget the many films starring the Borrah Minevitch Harmonica Rascals:
Always In My Heart, One In A Million, Tramp Tramp Tramp, Rascals, Top Man, Harmonica School, Hit Parade of 1941, Love Under Fire, etc, etc. - all oncamera!


Have fun,
Danny
