Wild Man Blues (1997) Does life imitate art? Soon-Yi Previn Allen (Woody Allen's wife) tells him at breakfast (minute 21 of the 1 hr 45 minute movie) that Woody should tell his entire band and not just the intermediary that they are good. Soon-Yi says that Woody appears to be a little crazy by not addressing everyone, when they are there in the room with him.
"You were talking only to Eddie Davis You look like a crazy."
However, this is a bit like his film of 30 years ago "Bananas"(1971), where the translator interprets by repeating word for word what the person says with a slight accent: "Welcome to my country" "WelCOME to my Coun-Trrree", etc.(Note: I am doing this from memory of 30 years ago -- I think / hope I'm right.) Then the translator is chased with a butterfly net by insane asylum attendants. (The point is: The people around the translator hear the same thing repeated, just like Woody's comments are repeated by his band's intermediary.)
