Na década de 1930, o guitarrista de jazz Emmet Ray idolatra Django Reinhardt, enfrenta gângsteres e se apaixona por uma mulher muda. Um cômico 'filme biográfico' focando a vida do imaginário violonista Emmett Ray. Ray era um ser humano irresponsável, esbanjador, arrogante, desagradável, beberrão, miserável, mas que também era indiscutivelmente o melhor guitarrista do mundo. Veremos a vida do Ray com sua insistência em ficar bêbado, o hobby de tiro-ao-rato e apreciar trens passando, seus sonhos de fama e fortuna, sua estranha obsessão pelo mais conhecido guitarrista Django Reinhardt e, claro, sua maravilhosa performance na guitarra.

Wild Man Blues is a 1998 documentary film directed by Barbara Kopple, about the musical avocation of actor/director/comic Woody Allen. The film takes its name from a jazz composition sometimes attributed to Jelly Roll Morton and sometimes to Louis Armstrong and recorded by both (among others). Allen's love of early 20th century New Orleans music is depicted through his 1996 tour of Europe with his New Orleans Jazz Band. Allen has played clarinet with this band for over 25 years. Although Allen's European tour is the film's primary focus, it was also notable as the first major public showcase for Allen's relationship with Soon-Yi Previn.
