If you, like me, are interested in the music Woody uses in his films and want to find out more then get a copy of this excellent book. It lists all of the music (together with writers and performers) in each film and tells you where it appears. So, you are now able to pinpoint any piece of music that you might like, even if you do not know what it is. This is especially helpful with some of the earlier ("funny") movies such as "Bananas", "Sleeper" and "Love and Death" where the songs are not listed in the end credits. There are also a number of useful appendices, including one which details where to find the same recordings of the music used by Woody. This isn't just a book of lists though. There is a detailed introduction which overviews Woody's interest in music and goes into some detail to describe how he employs music in his films, with numerous quotes by the director himself. Altogether this is a well-researched and thorough guide to Woody Allen's soundtracks, filling in the gaping hole in the literature about this film maker.

Adam Harvey gives us a truly complete guide to the songs and music in every Woody Allen's film, from 1969-2005.

All details, like tune tittle, the composers, year writen, the performers, year recorded, etc, etc, are there.

Besides, Harvey comments the soundtrack of every film.

Higly recommended.
