Classic Woody
10 November 2016
Here's looking at you kid, the number one life lesson that Allen Felix takes a bit to literally, in Woody Allen's remarkable play adaptation.

Herbert Ross directs Play it again Sam, the film based on the play written and Starring Woody Allen, with Diane Keaton, Toney Roberts, and Humphrey Bogart. A sensational funny witty classic Woody Allen piece, easy to watch and just impossible to dislike.

Allan Felix is traditional Woody Allen, a neurotic divorced writer who struggles to get back in the swing of things, when his friends Linda (Keaton) and Dick (Roberts) attempt several times to set Allan up with women. Allan is however a devoted film fan and possess a passionate love for the classic Casablanca, which leads his imaginary figment of Humphrey Bogart (Jerry Lacy) to help Allan become a stud in the game.

An absolute genius as always in the art of rom com, and general Woody Alleness. Being only 85 minutes long Play it again Sam is one easiest watches ,and just nice at ease enjoyable craft to take you where ever it pleases.

Still bearing in mind that this is not directed by Allen, it still does not compare to the masterpiece that is Annie Hall, but I personally like better than Manhattan. Although it's charm and innocents makes it what it is, it is not the solid piece of film making that has been seen the works of Woody Allen. Still easy fun and entertaining, but just doesn't quite rich excellent film creation.

I have recently adopted the event of a "Woody Allen Sunday" which basically implies that before the next week starts, the best way to settle down and enjoy the end of the weekend is to watch a work of Woody Allen. This has really just occurred from coincidence but in actuality a Woody Allen film is the perfect way to end the weekend.

Just fun to watch classic Woody Allen nonsense. If you are only just getting to know the great Woody Allen, then I will say it will be the start of a beautiful friendship.7.8/10
