Just watched the movie "To Have and Have Not" for the first time. In the last minute, as Bacall and Bogart depart, the band plays a tune with what looks like a tin whistle. It is end blown and has no keys so I would bet money on it. I would paste in a snapshot if I knew how to do that. Any one else noticed this & could comment on it?

Definitely looks like a whistle to me.

Thanks, dunnp. I did not think to look for the movie clip on youtube. It seems you can find almost anything on youtube.

Sure sounds like one, too.

You think you found something new & it turns out that some C&f person found it before. Thanks, all.

It's too bad that the musicians were never
credited in those days. That's Hoagy Carmichael
at the piano so it was probably a guy from his band,
or perhaps either of these guys. I looked for fotos
of the following players to no avail.
Anyway here's some new whistle playing
from the swing era at least to my ears.
