Re: List of Movies with a cutting lathe
Here's a clip from the Jimmy Durante film "Two Sisters From Boston", depicting Lauritz Melchior making an acoustic recording. The lathe makes a quick appearance at 1:43:
The vignette at the end is priceless.

Nightmare Alley - Psychiatrist uses a Meissner to record sessions.
Funny Lady - Fanny Brice in recording studio - I think it's a 6n used when she records "More Than You know".
Dance with Me Henry - Abbott & Costello. Presto K used to secretly record criminal's conversation
A Song is Born - Danny Kaye - I think another 6N used by music professors.
Unfaithfully Yours - Rex Harison - Don't know make or model - uses disc cutter as part of involved murder scheme (Did someone mention this one already?)

Re: List of Movies with a cutting lathe
Lots of lathe action throughout this one. The Unsuspected. Character is a radio host in the 40s and lathe is featured a bunch of times. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039941/. Pretty good movie too. Even a lacquer thrown into the fireplace (a little disappointing.) Here's a clip I found...

Hmmmm... the room must have been cooled with liquid nitrogen if a metal lacquer shattered when smacked over the guy's knee.

Re: List of Movies with a cutting lathe
I was just reminded of this older thread while watching a remake of an Agatha Christie story, re-titled for the BBC in 2015 as, "And Then There Were None".
In Episode 1, a record is shown being cut, which contains allegations against the ten characters who are ultimately picked off one at a time, for various offenses.
As of the time I'm posting this, the story is on Apple TV; someone has also posted it on youtube:

At approximately 4:18 in the first episode, there is a pretty good view of the lathe, although I'm not familiar with the model being used.
