Sweet and Lowdown
Sweet and Lowdown is a 1999 American comedy- drama mockumentary film written and directed by Woody Allen.
Loosely based on Federico Fellini's film" La Strada", the film tells the fictional story, set in the 1930s, of a self- confident jazz guitarist Emmet Ray( played by Sean Penn) who falls in love with a mute woman( Samantha Morton).
The film also stars Uma Thurman and Anthony LaPaglia.
Like several of Allen's other films( e.g.," Zelig"), the film is occasionally interrupted by interviews with critics and biographers like Allen, Nat Hentoff, and Douglas McGrath, who comment on the film's plot as if the characters were real- life people.
The film is one of the better- received later works by Allen.
Penn and Morton both received Oscar nominations, for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.
Woody Allen
Heywood Allen (born Allan Stewart Konigsberg; December 1, 1935), better known as Woody Allen, is an American director, writer, actor, and comedian whose career spans more than six decades.
He began his career as a comedy writer in the 1950s, writing jokes and scripts for television and publishing several books of short humor pieces.
In the early 1960s, he performed as a stand-up comedian, emphasizing monologues rather than traditional jokes, where he developed the persona of an insecure, intellectual, fretful nebbish, which he maintains is quite different from his real-life personality.
In 2004 Comedy Central ranked Allen fourth on a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians, while a UK survey ranked Allen the third-greatest comedian.
By the mid-1960s Allen was writing and directing films, first specializing in slapstick comedies before moving into dramatic material influenced by European art cinema during the 1970s, and alternating between comedies and dramas to the present.
He is often identified as part of the New Hollywood wave of filmmakers of the mid-1960s to late 1970s.
Allen often stars in his films, typically in the persona he developed as a standup.
Some of the best-known of his over 50 films are "Annie Hall" (1977), "Manhattan" (1979), "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986), "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (1989), and "Midnight in Paris" (2011).
In 2007 he said "Stardust Memories" (1980), "The Purple Rose of Cairo" (1985), and "Match Point" (2005) were his best films.
Critic Roger Ebert described Allen as "a treasure of the cinema".
Allen has received many accolades and honors throughout his career.
He has won four Academy Awards: three for Best Original Screenplay and one for Best Director.
He also garnered nine British Academy Film Awards.
His screenplay for "Annie Hall" was named the funniest screenplay by the Writers Guild of America in its list of the "101 Funniest Screenplays".
In 2011 PBS televised the film biography "Woody Allen: A Documentary" on its series "American Masters".

Robert Florey
Robert Florey( 14 September 1900 – 16 May 1979) was a French- American director, screenwriter, film journalist and actor.
Born as Robert Fuchs in Paris, he became an orphan at an early age and was then raised in Switzerland.
In 1920 he worked at first as a film journalist, then as an assistant and extra in featurettes from Louis Feuillade.
Florey moved to the United States in 1921.
As a director, Florey's most productive decades were the 1930s and 1940s, working on relatively low- budget fillers for Paramount and Warner Brothers.
His reputation is balanced between his avant- garde expressionist style, most evident in his early career, and his work as a fast, reliable studio- system director called on to finish troubled projects, such as 1939's" Hotel Imperial".
He directed more than 50 movies.
His most popular film is likely the first Marx Brothers feature" The Cocoanuts" of 1929, and his 1932 foray into Universal- style horror," Murders in the Rue Morgue" is regarded by horror fans as highly reflective of German expressionism.
In 2006, as his 1937 film" Daughter of Shanghai" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, Florey was called" widely acclaimed as the best director working in major studio B-films".
