The cinephile's dilemma (i.e., the "watcher" versus the "doer"), with a nifty central gag
Apart from its fantastic elements, Woody's script of Sam finds a deft blend of the comic and romantic.
... an affable situation comedy focused on its characters and an extramarital romance that's no more tawdry than white wine served in a red-wine glass.
Paramount's DVD release hands us a very good transfer from a clean print in its original 1.85:1 (anamorphic) aspect ratio. Audio is clean and free of distortion in DD 2.0 monaural.
Stagey Woody Allen film with Humphrey Bogart spectre for laughs.
I was laughing so hard, it was difficult to breathe.
Anyone who has anguished over whether to put on Bartok or Oscar Peterson to impress visitors should check this one out . . .
It's not bad, but Woody is definitely better at directing himself.
