Chet Atkins entertaining the audience in 1975
Joplin’s turn-of-the-century ragtime music, and “The Entertainer” in particular, experienced an upsurge in popularity in the 1970s. This was mostly due to the Oscar-winning film, The Sting (1973) using a number of his tunes. Enjoy this melding of two masters.

Allen stars as Allan Felix, a nervous klutz around women who finds inspiration and bravery in visits from the ghost of Humphrey Bogart. Tony Roberts stars as Allan’s buddy, Dick and Diane Keaton plays Dick’s wife and Allan’s love interest, Linda. Somewhat surprisingly for the New York-obsessed Woody Allen, this very enjoyable relationship comedy is set in San Francisco. Catch the trailer.
