Woody Allen’s marvelous play adapted to film, the first work in his canon that actually has some character development and story arc. Lots of classic gags, a few of which are dated, making this even better. Woody’s persona is still being fine tuned — it’s still two parts Bob Hope, one part Groucho — and Tony Roberts and Diane Keaton are fantastic as Tony Roberts and Diane Keaton. The film is great, though not as memorable as the Lakewood Prep Theater Group’s production in 1990.
