Reds?

Those documentary scenes, were they a reference to Reds, where this device is also used?

You mean having people talk about the person or subject? Unless I'm unclear on what you are talking about, this is something almost every documentary would do.

I also thought of Reds (which I saw only last month), but I'm not sure that Sweet and Lowdown was copying its style. Both were imitating documentaries.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

A similar documentary-style was used in Take the Money and Run, more than a decade before Reds, but it employed a narrator as well as talking-head interviews, much like Zelig did.
