Bullets Over Broadway (1994) is a dark comedy film directed by Woody Allen, blending the world of gangsters and theater in 1920s New York. The story follows struggling playwright David Shayne (John Cusack), who finally gets his big break when a mobster agrees to fund his play—on the condition that his talentless girlfriend (Jennifer Tilly) gets a role. As the production unfolds, an unexpected artistic genius emerges in the form of a tough-talking hitman (Chazz Palminteri), forcing David to question his own creative abilities. The film is a sharp satire of artistic integrity, featuring witty dialogue, eccentric characters, and an Oscar-winning performance by Dianne Wiest as a demanding stage diva.
The soundtrack of Bullets Over Broadway perfectly captures the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, featuring a selection of lively jazz, swing, and early Broadway tunes. It includes period-appropriate recordings such as "That Certain Feeling" by George Gershwin and "Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goodbye)" by Al Jolson, immersing the audience in the film's 1920s setting. The music not only enhances the film’s nostalgic charm but also serves as a playful counterpoint to the dark humor and criminal undertones of the story. With its infectious energy and authentic sound, the soundtrack is a delightful homage to the golden age of American theater and jazz.
