Sweet and Lowdown Woody Allen's dramamentary about a (fictional) jazz guitarist of the 1930s. Frustrated at always being number two behind Django Reinhardt, he leads a life of partying and sex, always hustling to make some money. Dropping his mute lover and wedding a trophy wife didn't help, and eventually he just dropped out of sight, leaving a mystery. While technically talented, he just did not have what it takes to be a major star. 95 minutes, Parental Guidance. Comedy, Drama, Romance, On the Art Circuit. You can usually find additional (copyrighted) pictures, trailers, etc, on the Official Site. Where's it showing?

The Moviesite Fan Club comments

Ian Douglas: OK, I thought it was a genuine documentary about a real person. I was suckered, as was everyone else in the preview audience. In that sense, it was well done. Emmet, however, comes across as a talented, vain and unpleasant peacock. I suppose if you are a jazz fanatic you will appreciate the music. Good performances.
