The Best Music in Film

Woody Allen

(Annie Hall, Manhattan, Anything Else)

S&S: What is your favourite film soundtrack music and why do you like it so much?
"Juliet of the Spirits (1965) - I love Rota and it fits perfectly with the text."
S&S: In what ways does music best enhance a film?
"Too broad a question. Let's just say it covers a multitude of sins."
S&S: Which film either has music that you wished you'd written or is one you would like to rescore and why?
"I've had many sequences, otherwise dull, saved by music. Naturally the track of Manhattan (1979)was a favourite of mine. Also Stardust Memories (1980)."
