Thelma & Louise est un film américain de Ridley Scott réalisé en 1991, qui a reçu l'Oscar du meilleur scénario. Avec Geena Davis (Thelma) et Susan Sarandon (Louise) dans les rôles principaux, il raconte l'histoire de deux femmes dont l'excursion d'un week-end se transforme en cavale à travers les États-Unis. Ce film met également en scène Harvey Keitel qui y joue pour la première fois le rôle d'un gentil, et Brad Pitt dont la carrière a été lancée par ce long métrage. Ecrit par la scénariste Callie Khouri, ce film a failli ne jamais voir le jour étant donné la méfiance de bon nombre de producteurs et réalisateurs en raison de son thème et en particulier de sa scène finale d'anthologie qui tranchait avec la production hollywoodienne classique.À sa sortie, ce film a suscité une polémique aux États-Unis, notamment parce qu'il mettait en scène deux héroïnes répondant par les armes à la violence masculine. À l'intersection de plusieurs genres cinématographiques, il est aujourd'hui considéré comme un classique, a influencé d'autres films et œuvres artistiques, et est devenu un film culte du mouvement féministe.

Artie Shaw (born Arthur Jacob Arshawsky; May 23, 1910 – December 30, 2004) was an American clarinetist, composer, bandleader, and actor. Also an author, Shaw wrote both fiction and non-fiction. Widely regarded as "one of jazz's finest clarinetists," Shaw led one of the United States' most popular big bands in the late 1930s through the early 1940s. Though he had numerous hit records, he was perhaps best known for his 1938 recording of Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine." Prior to the release of "Beguine," Shaw and his fledgling band had languished in relative obscurity for over two years and, after its release, he became a major pop artist within short order. The record eventually became one of the era's defining recordings. Musically restless, Shaw was also an early proponent of what became known much later as Third Stream music, which blended elements of classical and jazz forms and traditions. His music influenced other musicians, such as John Barry in England, with the vamp of the James Bond Theme, possibly influenced by "Nightmare," which also has a similar vamp to Kurt Weill's "Lonely House."
