We wrote five, six songs for it, and among them was a song called 'New York, New York,' and we went down to Scorsese's office and played them for Scorsese and Liza and De Niro was over on a couch someplace. We didn't actually see him. Kander remembers Scorsese being initially very complimentary and sending them off feeling good about their work, until De Niro called the director over. There was a very animated conversation. Scorsese came back and in a very embarrassed way said that, 'De Niro feels that 'The World Goes Round' is a song which is attached to Liza's character, and it's very strong.

While there, selfish and smooth-talking saxophone player Jimmy Doyle De Niro meets small-time USO singer Francine Evans Minnelli , who, although lonely, still wants nothing to do with Jimmy, who keeps pestering her for her phone number. The next morning, they end up sharing a cab, and, against her will, Francine accompanies Jimmy to an audition. There he gets into an argument with the club owner. Francine, to get the audition back on track, begins to sing the old standard, " You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me "; Jimmy joins in on his sax. The club owner is impressed and, to Francine's astonishment, they are both offered a job—as a traveling boy-girl act. From that moment on, Jimmy and Francine's relationship deepens into a mix of obsession and love.
