There is so much to love about this movie. One of Allen’s best scripts is elevated by amazing performances all around, including the luminous Mira Sorvino; having not seen this movie since its initial release, she is even better than I remembered.
Linda Ash: Yeah, well, he knows it was your idea that I get out of the business. So he said he's gonna' kill you too.Lenny: He said he was gonna' kill me?Linda: Yeah, 'cause it was your idea. He's gonna' cut up my face and put a bullet between your eyes.Lenny: Really? Did he-- Did he specify the caliber?
Incredible one-liners are everywhere, there’s a funny Greek chorus premise that is used to great comedic and emotional effect throughout, and Woody as something other than a sex-obsessed nebbish. (I mean, he’s still a sex-obsessed nebbish but he plays more of a father figure here).
One of Woody’s best and worth returning to.
