<P> Sweet and Lowdown is a 1999 American comedy - drama film written and directed by Woody Allen . Loosely based on Federico Fellini 's film La Strada , the film tells the fictional story , set in the 1930s , of a self - confident jazz guitarist Emmet Ray ( played by Sean Penn ) who falls in love with a mute woman ( Samantha Morton ) . The film also stars Uma Thurman and Anthony LaPaglia . Like several of Allen 's other films ( e.g. , Zelig ) , the film is occasionally interrupted by interviews with critics and biographers like Allen , Nat Hentoff , and Douglas McGrath , who comment on the film 's plot as if the characters were real - life people . </P>
