Melody

[edit]

I can't deny that the music attributed to Boccherini was "played" by the pretended musicians in the Ladykillers. Still, Haydn (Roman Hoffstetter) String Quartet No.5 in F Major Op.3, 2nd Movement seems to have been used as well. Do these just sound similar? Or was it used as an alternate tune as background?

Transliteration

[edit]

Why is it always Arabic titles? (original name: لصوص ولكن ظرفاء). A transliteration into pronounceable sounds in the Roman alphabet wouldn't go amiss. For the umpteenth time, this is English Wikipedia! Nuttyskin (talk) 20:07, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
