This is Broadway Danny Rose, the most legendary talent agent in New York, the guy who will represent you after you've been laughed off every stage in the Catskills.
Broadway Danny Rose ," like all of Allen's best movies, is a New York movie.

Woody Allen's 1984 feature Broadway Danny Rose skillfully embraces a yearning for mid-20th-century showmanship without sacrificing much of the biting humor Allen honed throughout his great films over the previous decade.
A minor charmer when judged against Allen's body of work from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, it nevertheless towers above the director's sloppy and painfully anachronistic recent work.

Still, among Allen's works, my personal take is that Broadway Danny Rose is a middling effort.
It is energetic and colorful (well, for a film in black and white), and has a few laugh-out-loud moments (my favorite is the scene with a shoot-out near helium tanks).

While Rose didn't provide a terrific experience, it seemed to be a fairly charming and entertaining film that worked much better than I expected.
Ultimately, Broadway Danny Rose offered a surprisingly warm and witty experience.

Woody Allen, USA, 1984, 84 minutes One of Allen's very best, this has a new version of his usual neurotic character in Danny Rose, the greatest New York theatrical agent ever seen.
The music is wonderful, the black and white photography of New York is perfect, and the performances of Allen (drowned in a series of too big chequered jackets) and Mia Farrow are hilarious.
