For his 47th feature film, the clarinet playing Woody Allen proposes a visit to an era he must be expertly familiar with…1920’s jazz scene in France. Curious in seeing how Emma Stone will flex her muscles.

Gist: This is about an Englishman brought in to help unmask a possible swindle. Personal and professional complications ensue. The film is set in the south of France in the 1920s against a backdrop of wealthy mansions, the Côte d’Azur, jazz joints and fashionable spots for the wealthy of the Jazz Age.

Release Date: Where else would you want to unload a film set in the French Riviera but in Cannes itself. Sony Pictures Classics distributes would will probably be a summer release.
