Thank you for your message. In Niagara (1953) at the beginning there is one record broken too.
It is a pity I cannot tell much more about the film I have in mind, it's only this scene at the end of the film I can remember. The man I think, was besides a collector, a radioman, a jazzreporter or something like that. Seems to me it was a film noir.
