After listening to a CD of old recordings with the Django talked about in the movie of old Pathé recordings, I must say that the soundtrack is better than the movie in itself. The movie flounders too much, it was said, and I agree. As always with Woody Allen his ideas are better than the execution. The Soundtrack sounds like a genuine pearl to own. Sean Penn!! well never liked him myself, but here he acted so good I actually forgot it was him! The half-moon scene was very funny! And he picked on the guitar very well as if he was actually playing it. Uma Thurman turn up late in a Marlene Dietrich like outfit. And she plays marvelous. So the verdic is (LOL): Buy the CD! If you like jazz a la Hot Quintet of Paris!
