In Popular Culture
A minor variation on "Havanaise," as well as the original piece, make up the main theme of the film The Ninth Gate.[3] A brief segment is played many times on the sound track of Rainer Fassbinder's film Effi Briest.[citation needed] The initial phrase also supplies the melody to the popular song Sugartime by Charles Phillips and Odis Echols.[citation needed]
