Woody Allen needs to make more movies like Broadway Danny Rose. It is clever, witty and always entertaining.
So many favorite scenes: the helium-induced, squeaky-voiced gun-shooting chase; the pathetic Holiday party; the menagerie of losers Danny represents; the stupid, wiggle-assed rancorous little bitch played by Mia Farrow.
One of my favorite things about the film is Allen's choice of a narrator, a group of show-biz comedians and agents sitting around having lunch. There's so much affection in their derision of Danny, and of course, affection for Danny by Woody.
This film takes Allen's love for New York and features one slice of it, his love of show business, especially the old New York that none of us will ever experience first hand. But we feel as if we have experienced it authentically, including its tastes, smells, sounds and feelings.
Truly one of Woody's most pleasurable and underrated films. I can't find it on video anywhere (probably out of print) so I'd appreciate it if someone would tell me where I can find a copy.
