Woody Allen’s latest film is the fanciful biography of a legendary jazz guitarist,
Emmet Ray, who clashed with lovers, gangsters, musicians and success itself in the 1930’s Jazz scene.
Sean Penn stars as the fictional musical genius who during the Swing Era was on his way up but could never settle down. Emmet forever stands in the shadow of his singular hero, the profoundly passionate Django Reinhardt.
Woody Allen’s tale traverses the nightclubs, back alleys and train yards of the Swing Era jazz scene – yet was entirely filmed within an hour of Manhattan. Emmet Ray’s travels take him from New Jersey to Chicago, Detroit and even the bright lights of a Hollywood film studio – and took the production to some 85 period-dressed locations.
The film features a cast that includes Anthony LaPaglia, Brian Markinson, Gretchen Mol, Samantha Morton, Sean Penn, Uma Thurman, James Urbaniak and John Waters. In addition, Woody Allen, Ben Duncan, Nat Hentoff and Douglas McGrath appear as themselves. The film, written and directed by Woody Allen, was produced by Jean Doumanian, co-produced by Richard Brick. Jack Rollins, Charles H. Joffe and Letty Aronson are co-executive producers. The Executive Producer is J.E. Beaucaire

As with all of Woody Allen’s comedies and dramas, casting Sweet and Lowdown with the right actors for the alternately funny and tender roles was the priority. Woody Allen says of his ensemble, "I loved working with everyone in the cast and had a great time on the set. I was very proud to work with Sean Penn, who is a brilliant actor. Samantha Morton was a pleasure, Uma Thurman was wonderful and the whole thing was a great experience."
The experience began with Woody Allen’s life-long love of jazz music. Although jazz themes have wended their way through the background of many of his prior films, Sweet and Lowdown is a Jazz-age fable about an artist who captured both the renegade and bittersweet spirit of jazz. Allen conjured the fictional Emmet Ray from his imagination, but the character resembles a composite sketch of several real-life jazz artists – some of whom exhibited sublime virtuosity in their art but chaotic, comical foibles in their personal lives.
To play Emmet Ray, Allen chose Sean Penn whose extraordinary range has allowed him to forge an indelible roster of on-screen characters. Penn, who has never played the guitar, learned the hyper-dexterous fingering for some 30 virtuoso jazz songs. Says Woody Allen: "Sean fulfilled my deepest wishes for the role. It was a real treat to work with him."
