This is my favorite Woody Allen movie. I think you can see the glee that he secretly has, playing the nebbishy Danny Rose, in his world of untalented types reaching for the stars. The Mobsters are almost like a preview for the Sopranos; the unexpected love story is sweet and charming. And it even has the return of Howard Cosell to a woody movie.I remember seeing this one in the Theatre when it was released - lines like "weinstein's majestic Bungalow colony" - and why that line is a side splitter - shows the fact that woody played this one close to the vest. Barney Dunn!!!

Ah au fait (là c'est moi qui parle) je n'vous l'ai pas dis :Je n'ai plus ce film (donné quand j'ai quitté Paname).Bon je l'ai vu en salle en v.o lors de sa sortie,puis sur cassette en v.f deux ou trois fois mais ça remonte à plus de 20 ans et j'ai des trous de mémoire ici et là...
