I believe the film is reversed. Looking at the marimba bars, the treble end is on the left and the low end is on the right - backwards.

Yup - and there's already a thread or two on this in the 'Bassists' Forum...

Or six or 10....and, in the Recordings Forum, 5 or 6.....
That guy is kind of a hero here. We once accused him of nailing that whole band....including Reg.

EDIT: His name is Frank Denunzio.

Bassist looks suspiciously like Ken Smith.

Thanks PW. It's this kind of quality trivia that keeps me reading TBDB forums. No matter how many times I see this clip it never fails to crack me up! It looks like we lost Frank in 2005 but I hope somewhere he can see the fan base he's developed! You can download a high res version at archive.org.

Wasn't that Reg's wife?

I sent the link to a friend of mine in England, who is also an Academy Award winning documentary film maker. He came back with this. Anyone know of it:

"Have you ever seen the 1948 British film "Easy Money"?

The film with Edward Rigby as the bass player in a Gainsborough production,*directed by Bernard Knowles, screenplay by Sydney and Muriel Box. It's a portmanteau about football pools with four separate stories about winners that are not connected except by real-life footage of backstage at the pools company. In one episode A double bass player in a symphony orchestra wins the pools and in exchange for helping out the financially strapped orchestra the bass players are now allowed to play at the front of the*orchestra!*

The film is now totally forgotten, but I remember it when I was just into my teens."

Is it me or do the bass runs you hear not match at all what you see, especially near the beginning?

I believe he's doing the instrumental version of lip synching.
