Interior Set
Allan Felix has this thing about Humphrey Bogart. If only he had some of Bogart's technique... Bookish and insecure with women, Allan's hero, Bogey comes to the rescue, with a fantastic bevy of beauties played out in hilarious fantasy sequences. Fixed up by friends with gorgeous women, he's so awkward that even Bogey's patience is tried. Allan mostly resembles a disheveled, friendly dog and this is what ultimately charms his best friend's wife, Linda into bed. It's a tough life, making it in the world of beautiful people but if you can't be a hero it helps to have one...
"Hilarious...a cheerful romp. Not only are Mr. Allen's jokes and their follow ups, asides and twists audaciously brilliant, but he has a great sense of character."-The New York Times
"A funny, likeable comedy that has a surprising amount of wistful appeal."-New York Post

The scene which has me in stitches everytime I see it is the one set in Allen's flat when he is presented with his first blind date by his match-making friends. The film also contains many scenes where Allen is able to show off his genius for comic timing such as in the art gallery or the disco when he attempts to pick up total strangers.
If you want a film which forces you to feel sympathy for the main character one minute and have you rolling around in the next then this is the one.
Contrary to what some of the other reviews suggest, this is not a film DIRECTED by Allen - the director was Herbert Ross. Woody simply stars in the lead role, which he had played with great success in the stage version.
If you like Woody, however, you will be very much at home here. His trademark humour is well in evidence, and, yes, he still can't get the girl. Some great one-liners and some hilarious slapstick moments (the scene when the very nervous Felix first meets his date for the evening is outstanding) - plus fans of Tony Roberts will be pleased to see him on top form in this film.
The film is a good link from, say, Bananas or Sleeper through to Annie Hall.
Woody Allen is as watchable as ever and steals all the best lines from a sparkling script. However, Diane Keaton is his perfect foil and their chemistry is as lucid as ever. Tony Roberts and Jerry Lacy, wittily capturing Bogart's laconic nuances, provide stoic support.
This isn't perhaps one of Woody's most complete films but it's certainly one of the funniest and has moments of surprising tenderness.
After your first viewing, you'll be dying to 'play it again' !
