For cinephiles who admire the stylistic flair within The Piano Mover, the specific stylistic flair of this work is a gateway to a broader Short world. We've prioritized films that capture the 1932 aesthetic with similar precision.
At its core, The Piano Mover is a study in to create a dialogue between the viewer and the stylistic flair.
A piano must be delivered by Krazy in his beat up old horse wagon to a skyscraper in the middle of a city. He struggles to set up a winch and pulley, getting caught in it, ending up on a ledge, where Kitty comes out of a window to join him to do a little singing, dancing and make trouble.
