Allen couldn't afford music for Match Point. He wound up making a deal with a British record company that put out a CD of public domain recordings of classical music. The music clearly came from old records.
Match Point is about a working class Irish tennis pro who marries into an upper-class English family. Maybe it should have been about a working-class Brit who marries into an upper-class Irish family. I'm not sure how I feel about movies vilifying members of the lower classes who find themselves among the upper crust but it seems to be a common theme. There was a brief spate of made-for-TV movies, The Billionaire Boys Club and The Preppie Murder, both about young men from working class families who got into exclusive private schools on academic scholarships and ended up in prison.
