Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsBeen trying to find this film for literally decades, can anyone help?
In it an expectant father plays drums on venetian blinds tables & the rest of the furniture.
This AM thot it might be Fred Astaire but it's more of a drum thing
not a dance (yes Fred played drums also piano accordian and oboe!)
Don't remember if it was a famous drummer or not...

Anyone?

(3,861 posts)8. Addendum: It really strikes me that it was a comedy
as the nervous father thing is humorous...I remember laughing at the incredible
skill and sounds he was creating playing every surface of the room...
