The release absolutely killed me. I could n't stop, it was so beautiful.

The playing of the Fred Astaire original is the beginning of Teddy 's monologue in act two. The song was referenced in Friends, when Chandler gives Monica a romantic mixtape for Valentine 's Day ; the mixtape, however, had been given to him by his annoying ex Janice, and therefore had her voice on it. The song itself is featured in films including Chinatown, Hannah and Her Sisters, Father of the Bride ( 1991 ), My Best Friend 's Wedding, First Daughter ( 2004 ) The Family Man, and the Kenneth Branagh films Peter 's Friends and Love 's Labour 's Lost ( 2000 ).
