Song on the radio near the end


Did anyone notice? The tune playing was "It's Now or Never." I found that wonderfully appropriate.

Yeah! I heard that tune and I told myself, "Great!!!".

I thought the same thing at first, but then I remembered It's Now or Never is just another version of O Sole Mio.

I agree though, the use of that piece for the scene was brilliant. It's also cool how the villain's journey in the movie begins and ends to pieces of classical music. Does anybody know the name of the first musical piece played when the villain is first revealed?

The "Trout" Quintet by Franz Schubert, I believe:
