The ever entertaining Al Duvall claims to record on wax cylinder, but I’ve never managed to purchase one (a friend has a player) so I am dubious.

Meaningless Trivia Time: Double Indemnity was probably the first movie featuring the getaway-car-won’t-start-at-first-due-to-a-flat-battery-but-then-eventually-does-start-at-the-last-moment plot device.
Apparently it was an 11th hour inspiration Billy Wilder had while shooting the movie when one day, your guess is correct, his car wouldn’t start after wrapping up for the day.
