Original Motion Picture soundtrack for Sony Pictures Classics Whatever Works in stores today

(New York, NY) - The original motion picture soundtrack for the Sony Pictures Classics Woody Allen comedy Whatever Works hits stores today. The album features 13 nostalgic songs from the 30's and 40's golden era of swing, jazz and big band music. Songs include the 1930 Groucho Marx ditty, "Hello I Must Be Going," Jackie Gleason's "If I Could Be With You," Charlie Byrd's "Menina Flor," and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performances of "Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125," "Wedding March" and "Symphony No. 5 in C Minor." The Film's star, Larry David, also sings a unique version of "Happy Birthday To You" as featured throughout the movie.

Whatever Works is the latest from the legendary Woody Allen and stars Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Patricia Clarkson, Evan Rachel Wood, Michael McKean, Kristen Johnson and Ed Begley Jr. Larry David stars as Boris, a misanthropic man who trades his upper class life for a much more bohemian existence. In doing so, he strikes up a May-December romance with Melody (played by Evan Rachel Wood). Whatever Works was released in New York and Los Angeles on June 19th and will be released in other cities nationwide by July 3rd. Early reviews include the New York Observer rave, "Whatever Works is Woody Allen exactly as you want your Woody Allen to be. It's witty, dark, poignant, zany and hilarious, and showcases a New York filtered through the Allen lens as we've never seen it before."

This release follows Razor & Tie Entertainment's recent soundtrack success with the platinum motion picture soundtrack to the Fox mega-hit Alvin and the Chipmunks. Other recent releases include the soundtracks to the Dreamworks/Paramount film Hotel for Dogs, the Warner Premiere release The Clique and Another Cinderella Story, and the film score to the FOX smash hit film Taken.
