Mellotronists

Tonight I saw the film "I Am Sam" starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Sean Penn. The film uses several Beatle songs (covers, sung by others), mostly from their later period, either weaved into the script or as a musical backdrop. I imagined myself to be hearing some tron flute in there somewhere. Alas, it was could well have been real flute. But does anybody know if a tron was ever used in these renditions of Beatle songs in this film?

A few days ago I saw the film "I Am Sam" starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Sean
Penn. The film uses several Beatle songs (covers, sung by others), mostly
from their later period as a musical backdrop. I imagined myself to be
hearing some tron flute in there somewhere. Alas, it was could well have been
real flute. But does anybody know if a tron was ever used in these renditions
of Beatle songs in this film?

Do you remember which song had the flute sound? I thought it sounded
like tron violins in Sheryl Crow's rendition of "Mother Nature's Son"
(and, she has been known to use a tron before). The liner notes I found
on B&N's site
(http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?ean=638812711946)
don't list a tron, but sometimes a tron may be just listed as
"keyboards." Other tron fans on the soundtrack are Aimee Mann and
Michael Penn but I couldn't hear it on their song either.
