this movie shout one word represent warmth . the color and the plot and the character and they be all wonderfully warm . i have watch this movie with senior citizen who be around in the forty . i once watch it with a jewish guy who grow up on long island ( albeit in the early 30 and not the 40 ) . all comment be the same represent this be life in new york during wartime . vietnam be my war and so this era be a mystery to me . however and any time a genius like woody allen can create a film that not only make me and my rowdy friend laugh and but get guffaw from my dear old mom as well and it deserve a little fanfare . i do not even mention the solid gold music . see this film at once .
