[mikedelafuente1]

What Is name of the song?

[connberkshire]

"They say I'm a wonderful lover..." Best line from the movie!!!

[youneshj]

Actually, he was real, you can check in all Jazz' dictionnaries. He didn't record that much, but you can still find some of his 78" records. Maybe Woody Allen didn't know about him, it could be a coincidence, or maybe he choose a random name in a jazz dictionnary...?

[benlevy52]

one of my favorites

[VisionofOrion]

I cant believe there is actually a debate on weather Emmet Ray was real or not. I thought it was quite clear he was a fictional character

[Atticus70]

This is my third favorite Woody Allen movie of all-times, right after Manhattan and Annie Hall

[noidddd]

what song is this?

[Atticus70]

@noidddd I'll See You In My Dreams.

[FairwayJack]

My all-time favorite movie !!

[ricocc]

Fantastic, the direction of Woody Allen, music by Django and interpreted by Sean Penn and Uma Thruman

[neheah]

I think that maybe Emmett Ray is a split personality of Woody. He's like another half of Woody, that was made a movie of. lol

[poohandmuffin]

emmett ray is NOT real, but django reinhardt is

[faebheankwest]

Nonsense, of course he was real...You lot will be saying Louis Armstrong didn't exist next! In fact, when I was little, my father used to take me to see Emmet Ray play, and he must have been in his 90's then. One day a little crippled boy hobbled up to the stage and Emmet laid his hands on him and not only could the kid walk and run instantly, but he also found he could suddenly play guitar and trombone like a master.. what a guy!

[xvoy2002]

@faebheankwest Well, hard to believe but i was at the same concert! Emmet Ray spoke to a friend of mine, who afterward became a guitar virtuoso AND had a chain of dry cleaning stores! God bless Emmet Ray!!!

[marbeque]

Emmett Ray did not exist, he's just a figure in Woody Allen's imagination.

[photo199]

This movie is really genius I think. Sean Penn nails the character of the narcisistic Emmet Ray. And the girl who played the mute (sorry can't remember her name) was great. Felt so sorry for her at the end. So sweet. Woody Allen did a great job of directing this. But no, Emmett was not a realy guitar player. Just a character.

[timspencer1]

Hattie was played by samantha morton

[joshuaisaacflores]

@photo199 You wrote: " Emmet was not a really guitar player." -- Which in and of itself does not make sense.

Did you mean to write that: "Emmet [Ray] was not a really [great] guitar player." ?

Or, did you mean to writet: "Emmet[Ray] was not really a guitar player." ?

In any case you are wrong.

In reality: Emmet Ray was a guitar player; and he was a great guitar player

With all due respect, please don't comment when you don't know what you are writing about.

[photo199]

@joshuaisaacflores Your comment is useless, and rather dumb.. "with all due respect," ,... Emmet Ray was NOT a real person. He's a character. Sean Penn is an ACTOR. Woody Allen made up Emmet Ray,, so i you're going to make dumb comments please get YOUR facts right. Its a MOVIE!!! Not a real person. Sheesh,, why did you bother.

[xvoy2002]

@joshuaisaacflores Please get your facts correct before chiding some other person on here for an intelligent comment.

Emmet Ray was NOT a real person. He is a character in a movie. It is a woody allen movie and he made up the character of Emmet Ray. He's fictitious. He doesn't exsist. "With all due respect. " don't comment when you don't know what you are writing about please.

[ribbertmaya]

@xvoy2002

I do agree that his comment was quite foolish and nitpicky, but I don't it it matters if Emmet Ray is real or not. Charles Foster Kane isn't real, but that doesn't stop people from figuring out Rosebud. I think it matters more if the facts are accurate, regardless of whether the character is real or not... any amount of time spent in an English Literary class will tell you that. :) I'm pretty sure that joshuaisaacflores is already aware that Ray is fictional.

[kurotora1]

@photo199 Samantha Morton, I think. Nominated as supporting actor/actress.

[jmsbk12345]

Howard Alden is the guitarist playing this.

[Chonch51]

"You like that. I knew you would. They say I'm a wonderful lover."LOL. This is in my to five favorite movies of all time.

[larry3393]

[avman151]

It's "I'll see you in my dreams"

[sharksoup12]

"ill see you in my dreams"

[BlackLionFilms]

Who plays it?

[JT4459]

i saw this movie about 3 or 4 years ago and i loved it, ive seen it a few times, but today i was christmas shopping and i saw it at FYE for 4 dollars. So if your looking for it its out there and its cheap.

[madchops82]

Emmett Ray is alive in all of us.

[djangolian]

is emmet ray a real person????

[pedrogas79]

No, Ray is a fictional character. Woody took some facts from Django's life to create the character de Emmet Ray.

[rootmese]

Emmet Ray was not a fictional character, in fact existed.

In imdb:

character/ch0016851/bio

Why do shy girls always fall for ego-maniacs?

[MrRicewife]

@sharonclyon The ego is for the both of them.

[tangentgenius]

@sharonclyon confidence is attractive.. and she was mute, not shy haha.

[weeweemonsieur]

Woody Allen's last great film!

[EspejojepsE]

Nevertheless years don´t match don´t they?

Howard Alden (born October 17, 1958 (age 49)) is an American jazz guitarist born in Newport Beach, California. He has recorded a long series of albums for Concord Records. His performances were dubbed over Sean Penn as 'Emmet Ray' in the 1999 Woody Allen film Sweet and Lowdown. Howard has produced several albums with George Van Eps.

From wikipedia.

[rocker1946]

Did Emmett Ray really exist? We have to find out. Sean Penn is great. Where in Australia is the DVD available from? Please help.

[blackmarketgirl101]

sean penn is a genious. I adore him and this movie

[lukedarlison]

none of the tracks in the movie were written by django. however, one of them, limehouse blues, was co-written by stephane grappelli.

[gitareinfo]

For all of you believers :) Ray emmet is fictional person... this is some kind of autobiography of Django Reindthart... And if i remember good all songs in movie are Django's

[naphozholdal]

whats that song 00:10-01:58?

[Alexcantsee]

"I'll See You In My Dreams" by Howard Alden

[joelbs1]

hahaha too bad Emit Ray isnt real. He was made up by Woody Alan! Woody fooled us all! haha

[TanerJazz]

Harika bir film bence, izlemenizi tavsiye ederim. great!!

[anblanco333]

this is by far, the best performance of sean penn, ever, and indeed, one of the most underrated film ever...penn and morton...awesome, and of course, the great great great woody allen!!!

[pkcMIL]

i don´t care the movie, emmet ray was a fucking genious

[sfrussell999]

emmet ray isn't real...

[snaithb]

Brilliant film. Check out my version of Bubbles. Click on my name.

[paulosham]

"i made a mistake, i made a mistake" heartbreaking

[MakkalTK]

The music is performed by 'Dick Hyman Group and Howard Alden'.

[moustachke]

Sean Penn is sensational in this movie. Like a young Woody in the 30s. Anyone know who plays the music, is there a soundtrack out there?

[imyourlittlestar]

yes. avalible only online.

[stochelosis]

This is one of the most underrated movies of all time. and one of the best woody allen movies.

[Bumblebee38]

I Fully agree with you !

[PonyExpressNYC]

This film really brings together three of the coolest people ever: Sean Penn, Woody Allen, and Django Reinardt. You normally wouldn't think to group the same three people and have it work, but with this, mmm boy.

[Numbrr5]

Who is supposed to be the 1st greatest, Reinhardt?

[Metallian]

Love this movie. Seen it twice... it's great. Lead performance is great and the music is excellent

[Currien]

Saw this movie the other week. Really quite a sweet little film, with an interesting but certainly memorable lead performance. Not to mention the music'c great. Shame there's not more videos of it on You Tube.

[coreymartin0079]

i loved this movie
