Review of They All Laughed (1981) by Eric J — 16 Dec 2008
"'They All Laughed' is my masterpiece," said director Peter Bogdanovich, "because I fell in love with every actress in it.".
Bogdanovich's vacuous assessment of his own film belies the complex and damnably intelligent structure of the best American comedy of the 1980s. Filmed largely on the unblocked streets of New York City with a hidden camera, Bogy captures a rawness and authenticity of the Big Apple that Woody Allen could only dream of. And by infusing an ensemble cast with concurrent story lines and improvisatory dialogue, Bogy combines the best of Altman and Cassavetes.
