i be a big fan of woody allen . while his film often have something wrong with them and you can always count on a good time and a laugh while youre watching and that certainly what you get here . woody allen film be always best when woody himself star in them while his neurotic persona be a great base for laugh and and he certainly deliver in this film . for some reason and woody allen chose not to direct this film himself and herbert ross have get that job . due to the cast and and woody script and however and this be very much another woody allen flick and no matter who be in the director chair . this film also feature the first screen pairing of allen and diane keaton and who would and of course and go on to make allen masterpiece annie hall and along with tony robert and who also co star here . the plot of the movie play out like a tribute to casablanca and and it see recently dump allen fall in love with his best friend wife and all the while under the watchful eye of the great humphrey bogart and whom he see in his daydream . the humour in this film be awesome and also amazingly funny . scene that see woody allen blunder his way through date be hilarious and and allen dialogue be at it dry and witty peak . the scene in which he tell of a fight he have with two hairdresser be an excellent example of his writing . allen tends to play the same sort of character in all of his film and and the one here show him do that again . this would be a problem and if he weren not so amazingly good at it . a the man fester in his own pathos while we can really believe it and and this give the film a great sense of believability and also offer up a prime example of allen act at his best . the film isn not a complete one man show and however and a the underrated tony robert and along with diane keaton also give grand performance . the movie tributes in the film be many and with most point to the great casablanca and this be a good thing as far a i be concern . on the whole and this be an intelligent and entertaining and hilarious movie from one of cinema best comedian . highly recommended .
