At first, I thought I was mislead by an interview that Allen gave to the
magazine Classic CD some years ago, when he (Woody Allen) stated that
Mahler was one of his favourite composers.  Then I started watching (on
video) as much Woody Allen's films as I could just to check it out.  Well,
my memory wasn't that bad!  Actually, Allen uses Mahler in (at least) two
of his movies (Another Woman and Husbands and Wives).  I'm still working on
this subject, but I've already found what follows:

CLASSICAL MUSIC AND THE FILMS OF WOODY ALLEN

- Love and Death (1975): Lieutenant Kije suite, Prokofiev.

   and Concerto for harpsichord and orchestra by J. S. Bach.  - Another
