perhaps woody best effort in his neurotic schlep persona . the script be a comic whirlwind and with too many brilliant scene to enumerate ( i can not resist mention the blind date arrival the desperate preparation and the pathetic introduction be funny but painful and in that we have all be in that position while his demonstration of authentic chinese rice eat technique be another classic ) . the device of the imaginary bogart alter ego work well and especially in the climactic scene with diane keaton . in my book this rank with sleeper and manhattan and and annie hall a woody best film .
