“Allen has the uncanny knack of magnifying our most unguarded, embarrassing, selfish and just plain silly moments into a blossoming garden of neuroses and phobias. ”
Our Film Club at Home chain continues with a LOVE TRIANGLE! link from Francois Truffaut’s Last Metro to vintage “early funny” Woody Allen. Adapted from his hit Broadway play, Play It Again, Sam, stars Woody Allen as Allan Felix: a recently divorced film critic so obsessed with the movies that he turns to an imaginary Humphrey Bogart for relationship advice. As farcical date follows farcical date, Allan finds himself falling in love with the wife of his best friend - Diane Keaton and Tony Roberts, respectively, making the first of their numerous on-screen appearances with Allen. For sheer LAFFS! Play It Again, Sam is hard to beat sez we. For a bit more info and all that cal, watch Wayne’s introduction below - in which he misremembers the name of the last film he chose for the Film Club at Home (that difficult to remember title, Birdman), forgets to say what this week film is actually about and - perhaps most unforgivably - neglects to sign off with ‘viddy well’… Boy oh boy, are we missing the Lord Palmerston…
