Review of Broadway Danny Rose (1984) by Charlie M — 14 Feb 2015
She seems to be upset.
A lounge singer sets off a terrible string of events as she pursues a better life. Her talent agent is mistaken as her lover leading to her gangster past being out for him. Meanwhile, she hooks up with another of the manager's clients which sets his life off in another direction.
"If anything happens to that car I'll be furious?!?!".
Woody Allen, director of Manhattan, Midnight in Paris, Love and Death, Shadows and Fog, Radio Days, Bananas, Small Time Crooks, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Zelig, and Annie Hall, delivers Broadway Danny Rose. The storyline for this picture was entertaining but frustrating and annoying at times. The acting was solid and the cast includes Mia Farrow, Milton Berle, and Nick Apollo Forte.
"What about my one legged tap dancer?".
I found this on cable and decided to DVR it. This is one of the Allen films that focuses on his dry brand of humor rather than his great character pieces. This was okay and a nice addition to the genre. The characters were worth following. This isn't an Allen classic but its worth watching.
"If that's what you want we'll do it.".
Grade: C+.
