The towers appear among the black-and-white skyline images in Allen's famous Gershwin-scored opening montage, a love letter to the city as it looked at the end of the 1970s.

Trivia: Woody Allen was reportedly so unhappy with the finished film that he offered to direct another picture for United Artists for free if they would shelve this one instead of releasing it.
