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...

Shubertmaniac, did you see 'Fading Gigolo'? have you ever seen a Woody Allen movie?

I have seen them all.

I don't care who's credited as the director, this was a Woody Allen movie. As Jazzcourier said above, it is vintage Woody shtick, right out of his best films. If you've ever seen more than one Woody Allen film, you'd know that.

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.
I just loved the film, not a classic high art piece, but very well written and acted, with an underlying melancholy to it. All the actors, particularly John Turturro, were very good. I agree it could be a Woody Allen film, but I don't care who made it, I enjoyed it.

Oh yes, the soundtrack was excellent
