I always thought that one of the difficulties in musicalizing the film was the danger of being too on the money. A song titled "Don't Speak" would have to be awfully brilliant to overcome being . . . a song titled "Don't Speak." I suspect that this is one of the reasons why Hamlisch and Carnelia either gave up or Allen decided that what they were coming up with wasn't right. By going with period songs, the songs are a bit oblique. Being oblique is good. Unfortunately, here it goes along with being nonspecific.
