 Also known as the "One-handed Piano Player".
-This is what happens when an actor who doesn't know how to play piano is cast as a piano player -- and doesn't get proper instruction on how to fake it.  They sit at the keyboard -- sometimes with their hands thoughtfully obscured by the cameraman's choice of angle -- and pretend to play.  But while their right hands dance all along the full length of the ivories, their left hands hardly move -- if they move at all -- and nothing the cameraman can do short of pointing the camera elsewhere can hide it.
