Jocelyn might have also mentioned "Hang 'Em Haydn" and "The Dead Poulenc."

The worst thing to have happened to John Berendt's novel was to fall
into the hands of Clint Eastwood. As it was, music had nothing to do
with it, as Mercer was primarily a lyricist; the music to the songs was
written by others (none from Savannah). Still, Eastwood missed a great
gag opportunity by not including (for Lady Chablis) Mercer's song "Legalize
My Name."
