I took my daughters to see Ella Enchanted, a sort of tongue-in-cheek fairy tale based loosely on Cinderella. In passing there was a scene where Ella is asked by her mother to go practice her mandolin. She runs downstairs and picks up a bowlback and then proceeds to bow it.
I am not sure if this was meant as a joke or just the ignorance of the movie makers. I can't imagine that there are many folks except mandolin players who would even care, let alone get the joke.
Perhaps we can have a place here in this thread for movie and tv sightings of mandolins.
