Now I'm sure I'm not the only person that feels this way, so that's not really saying a lot, but let me say it anyway because there really is no one at his level, and he really is my very favorite. So there I said it. And having said it, I should say that it's been quite a while since I've seen 'Broadway Danny Rose.' But I just watched it again, and I think I enjoyed it more this time than ever before.
It occurred to me that this is coming from one of his best periods, (1984) and it clearly has that special Woody Allen feel to it. The jokes are funny, the characters are fun to watch, and it simply looks fantastic. I love that it's in black & white. Here's Roger Ebert's Review. And here's the trailer.
If you've got Netflix it expires at the end of the month, so see it soon.
The other film I watched tonight. (Did a double-feature) was 'Superfly.'
New York in the early 70's. Blaxploitation. Not that great by way of acting or writing but an enjoyable ride nonetheless. Of course the Curtis Mayfield soundtrack made all the difference.
