Song List

Theme from New York, New York,
There goes the ball game
But the world goes 'round
Happy endings
Billets Doux
A new kind of love
Once in a while
You are my lucky star
It's a wonderful world
The man I love
Just me, just me
Blue moon
Honeysuckle Rose
Don't get around much anymore
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Taking a chance on love

Info

-- For the movie, "Billets Doux" was performed by The Hot Club of France Quintet.

-- It was originally four and a half hours long. Director Martin Scorsese cut it to 153 minutes, then to 136 minutes. In 1981 some material (mainly the 'Happy Endings' sequence) was restored and the film became 163 minutes long.

-- Much of the movie was shot on the same soundstages as the great musicals of the 1940's. As a result, Liza Minnelli was haunted by memories of her mother, Judy Garland, throughout the shoot.
