TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The guitar that Emmet Ray (Sean Penn) plays in the movie is a Selmer Maccaferri of about 1932, though it seems likely that it's a reproduction of the rare instrument and not an original. This is the same kind of guitar played and made famous by Django Reinhardt.

Samantha Morton received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in spite of the fact that she has no spoken lines.

After What's Up, Tiger Lily? (1966), this is the second Woody Allen film in which he plays himself.

Woody Allen pays a clever homage to Federico Fellini's La strada (1954). The characters of Emmet (Penn) and Hattie (Morton) correspond to Zampano (Quinn) and Gelsomina (Masina) including the final scene with Emmet's/Zampano's breakdown and repentance.

Woody Allen had planned an initial version of this movie (originally titled "The Jazz Baby") as his first film for United Artists. When UA insisted upon a comedy, Allen shelved the idea for nearly three decades.

Popular Dialogues

"Emmet Ray: You got a terrific body, you really do. Round. I like round. And I don't mean fat! You got some heft. Makes a fella feel like he's been someplace."

"Emmet Ray: This is my one day off, I want a talking girl."
