I'm not going to pretend that this film is great Woody Allen. It has none of the zaniness or irreverence of his early films. However, it is a solid comedy with a crime drama that will keep you entertained some evening.
Woody stars as an insurance investigator who is hypnotized to steal the very valuables from which he has set up impregnable security.
During the course of the story, sparks fly in a bad way, including many amusing insults both ways, between his character and a woman hired to make the firm more efficient.
Of course, misunderstandings and mysterious behavior abounds, and most of it is funny. It isn't a laugh riot, but if you're paying attention you'll hear many amusing lines that are often almost throw aways.
This is very much in the style of a 40s comedy/mystery, and I could very much see Bob Hope or Danny Kaye in Woody's role here.
