1999 American film

Sweet and Lowdown is a 1999 American comedy-dramamockumentary written and directed by Woody Allen. Loosely based on Federico Fellini's film La Strada,[1] the film tells the story of jazz guitarist Emmet Ray (played by Sean Penn) who falls in love with mute laundress Hattie (Samantha Morton).
