Trivia
In 1991, director 'Steven M. Martin' traveled to Moscow, found Professor Theremin, and bought him back to America for the first time since 1938. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the documentary, Bob Moog makes a statement to the effect that Stradivarius designed the first violin. "Stradivarius" is not a person but refers to a musical instrument, usually a violin, made by Antonio Stradivari and his family. The violin existed as an instrument for more than a century before the birth of Antonio Stradivari in 1644. See more »
