So here I sit on a Friday night, in one of my standard pizza restaurants, and despite the fact that I could barely hear the music over the ambient noise, I thought I recognised the tune.
And I did. It was a highly Muzak-ed version of “Across 110th Street”. (Right now, I am hearing a highly Muzak-ed version of “Another Brick in the Wall” )
I know this tune from Jackie Brown, which is my favourite Quentin Tarantino film.
Nonetheless, it always bothered me that a song which clearly references New York, is featured in a film set mostly (entirely?) in Los Angeles.
After some Google work, I discover it is not just the name of a song, but the name of a film!
Has anyone seen the film? Any good?
