[HG] hg in the movies

[Gabriel Orgrease]

The Polish movie With Fire and Sword, Ogniem i Mieczem directed by Jerzy 
Hoffman, available on a 2 DVD set from our local library (USA, Long 
Island), has a nobleman in 17th century shown at beginning of the 2nd 
DVD playing a hurdy-gurdy to entertain his troops while they sit out in 
a wood. Unfortunate though the instrument is quickly used to bash 
someone in the head -- showing I assume another use for the instrument 
than to scare cats and dogs. But the sound is really quite clear though 
possibly I imagine it went through several post-performance filters in 
the edit of the movie. Either that or the 17th century Poles/Ukranians 
had really good ears.
