Broadway Danny Rose

1984 Woody Allen comedy, not his most succesful film but decent enough to sit through all the same.
Allen doesn't have his A-Jokes out, but his b jokes are diverting enough when things don't go on too long. Mia Farrow's character, and the scenario built up around it, has a few laughs. As does the hopelessness of Allen's character's showbiz clients.
We are not entirely sure what the point was of shooting this film is in black and white, for Allen this is not a particularly visually interesting film. That seems like an indulgence.
One interesting part of this film, which we should say is decently amusing, is the warmth of it. Of Allen's character, as well as the story. Allen was slightly spikier in his early pieces such as 'Manhattan' and 'Annie Hall', in this film his character is downright very likeable. One is never hugely worried or anxious about proceedings, and the end of it could frankly fit quite nicely as an alternate ending for 'It's A Wonderful Life' (like to see that DVD extra).
All told, worth sitting through if you like Allen, nut not his very best.
