The Best Music in Film

Woody Allen

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: What is the most effective sequence of music in your own films?
"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)."
