Opening song on the jukebox


Gotta love it, after the opening pan of the Paris cityscape we shift to Madame Bouche's restaurant. The song on the jukebox with Max's face framed is "Ave Maria," continuing as he reads the newspaper account of the 50 million gold bullion heist. This is right before Max walks over to play "his tune," the melancholy, world-weary Jean Wiener composition with Jean Wetzel on harmonica.
