Another Woody Allen farce. This time it details the life of a born loser who begins to lead a life of crime but can't seem to do anything right.
His parents, while interviewed, wear masks since they're ashamed of his son. Allen and the entire cast should have taken their advice and worn them as well.
This film is Woody at his stupidest. Scenes include bank personnel discussing among themselves the note that Allen (Virgil) has handed a teller in order to rob another bank.
Even the scene with the chain gang is ridiculous at best. Here is where the movie could have taken off but fails to do so. Robbing a bank only to meet up with several other robbers at the same time is handled poorly. No one really knows what's going on and maybe they're the better for it.
Janet Margolin, an attractive beauty, plays Virgil's wife. She wants to know what color shirt he is wearing to the bank robbery.
Louise Lasser comes in at the very end and acts like she is still Mary Hartman.
