Paris is an undefeatable city‚ It lives; It lasts; It loves. And many love it back. Woody Allen begins his film Midnight in Paris with an ode to the modern Paris. As the scenes of the city dwellers and monuments roll‚ Allen plays “Si Tu Vois Ma Mère" by Sidney Bechet.

"The Weary Blues" and "Lenox Avenue: Midnight" approach the general topic of urban life from two

Midnight The clock made its chime. Darkness filled the air. Its three hours after nine And he was very scared. The air had no light. He was all alone. He was filled with fright‚ And couldn’t find his way home.
