    That's it! That's the tune heard several times throughout this amazing film, one I've watched at least fifty times. The kiss scene under the bridge, Satie's Gymnopedie, Gena's performance, and this tune - all together a perfect storm of a powerful film, unknown to most.

      Another Woman is one of my favorite Woody Allen movies. Just finished watching it again for the first time in quite a while. I haven't watched it fifty times but it's definitely a movie that's well worth revisiting. Woody has written so many great parts for women and the role he gave Gena Rowlands to play has got to rank right up there with the best of them. I'm also a big admirer of Interiors, his first serious dramatic movie.

      Yes, in my top ten, made more amazing because of later revelations about Allen. But it’s a very insightful story.
      The score is extraordinary.

    Best thing about Woody Allen's movies is his taste in music.

      No doubt about that! There are other things, of course. But what bewitched me from the start were the soundtracks

    Thanks much for finding and providing this song. One of the important pieces from the movie I frequently revisit. I also just noted CZcams considers the movie itself a "comedy", that couldn't be more inaccurate. It's a drama that basically lacks any comedic element.

    • @rosezingleman5007
      @rosezingleman5007 Před rokem +1

      Yes, I’ve seen that description on Amazon as well. Not exactly a “laff riot” like “Love and Death.” I often hesitate to recommend it even to serious people because it is so emotionally charged and hits sensitive subjects like abortion, adultery, divorce, withholding parents, etc which most people cannot discuss without screaming these days. Could Allen have foreseen a time when an abortion could not have been mentioned in connection with regrets?
      It is a deeply unsettling film, certainly for this baby boomer.

    • @swr2777
      @swr2777  Před měsícem

      Don't know if sheet music is available for this particular instrumental adaptation. But the actual song, "The Bilbao Song" from the musical HAPPY ENDINGS by Berltolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, has openly available sheet music for voice and piano.

      @@swr2777 Hi. I am a music publisher and I'm working on a piano sheet music book featuring some of the best music pieces from Woody Allen's movies. Bilbao Song will be one of them - love this rendition by Bernie Leighton. Cheers !

    @michael69040 Před 6 lety +5

    When you set up a major mode and then drop down to the minor 3rd in the melody you don't want to give away that little despondent twinge by introducing the minor mode in the accompaniment ahead of time like Leighton does.

      Hi, THX. I uploaded this some time ago and could certainly send you the file. Also, I believe Twilight Time just released this on Blu-Ray with an isolated score track. Either way, let me know if I can help.

    where can one get the score?

    • @swr2777
      @swr2777  Před 4 lety

      Great question. So far as I know, the score/soundtrack has never been released as a standalone album/CD. There was a comprehensive Woody Allen filmography soundtrack album that had several of the titles used in the film, but they were different recordings and not the same ones we're used to hearing. However, there was a limited edition bluray of the film (which I don't have, sadly) that had an isolated score track. I think that's your best bet.
