Smiles of a Summer Night
The film's soundtrack is notable for featuring numerous excerpts from Nino Rota's score for the Federico Fellini film "8½", itself a self-reflexive work about the making of a film. Other non-diegetic musical references are made to "Amarcord", "The Draughtsman's Contract", "Smiles of a Summer Night", "Fanny and Alexander" and "Barry Lyndon". Michael Nyman, composer of "The Draughtsman's Contract" provides a new arrangement of the Handel Sarabande featured in the latter film, while the tracks of "The Draughtsman's Contract" (the original soundtrack recordings, the score has been re-recorded numerous times) serve as a temp track to film of the Sterne material.
