I saw in a movie (Wall Street) a machine that rolled rice for sushi.
It was a plastic device that you used a hand crank. I remember seeing
ads in the 80's in magazines and it ran about $100. I cannot seem to
find anything like this. Does anyone know where to buy such a device?
Thanks

which looks like more trouble than it's worth. I think a hand cranked
gizmo would rank highly in the pantheon of manufactured-need poseur
solutions.
When I'm at Mitsuwa, i see little, very well engineered, plastic nigiri
nigiri, rice ball and maki folding presses. They're much less than $100,
most less than $10, all under $20, and are basically unbreakable.
imho, a bamboo mat, maybe even with some some plastic wrap for
inside-out rolls for the adventurous, is really really easy to learn.
I got "acceptable" results on my first try. four or five cups of rice
later, i was comfortable with rolling, and now i can just zip 'em off
and ny results aren't much different than the local sushi haus'.
Rice is so cheap, as is nori and vinegar, practice is fun and you can
eat the mistakes! You can always practice by rolling up cucumber or
carrot strips. (I find preparing the filling more needful of attention
than the actual rolling.)
Better to spend the $100 on a nice rice cooker. mmmmm....rice...
