Jazz In A Woody Allen Movie: "Fading Gigolo"


.
I watched 'Fading Gigolo' last night. I have a tendency to watch anything involving Woody Allen. The soundtrack featured Gene Ammons music. The intro of 'Canadian Sunset' was smoking. Check it out if you get a minute. It was one of the best jazz soundtracks in recent memory.

Oh, the movie was just so-so...

That movie was classic Woody. I find it hard to believe Allen didn't write or direct that movie. I think he did, but for some reason, he wanted Turturro to take the credit. Why? God only knows. Allen's mind works in mysterious ways.
There's no sense getting into an argument over something that we
will never be able to verify, but I agree with Mitch. The
entire vibe of the film was pure Allen. It's about the feel, the
situations, the irony. I really don't understand how the
Manhattan/Brooklyn issue even comes into it.
