After being bored silly for 15 or 20 minutes I would just give up.

Wazzamatta? You can't deal with everyone in a movie acting like neurotic New York Jews? I usually make it until Woody Allen sticks his nose onto the screen.

And, unlike Alfred Hitchcock or Stan Lee, it's seldom a cameo appearance.

Black and white.

Tri-X? 16mm?

I forget the name.

BIG name in film.

Comes in a little yellow box.

Can anyone remember?

Your Nom de Plume interests me as I made up a story about a character named “Ratman”, in a story for a staff newspaper.

I returned to that resort 30 years later and was surprised to hear staffers talking about the legend of “Ratman”. This was in Western, N.C.

"Crimes and Misdemeanors" might have been well acted and beautifully filmed, but the moral (or lack thereof) of the story line was extremely disturbing to me.

Was this Woody's attempt to excuse himself for marrying his step-daughter?

Liked both of those. Not sure if I’ve seen the others.

That was a very good if underrated movie.

Slightly entertaining, but not great.

It is an amazingly (and intentionally) cynical movie, but Woody is a very cynical man.

Just a post note.

My mother hates Woody Allen. Not because of all the scandal, which personally I think a lot of it is Mia Farrow bunk but he shouldn’t have gone with her adopted kid, imho, but my mother does not like all his jokes alluding to sex, which honestly I do not either, but back to my comment.

She agreed to watch Radio Days because I told her she might like it. She grew up in the 40s and was always telling me about it.

That movie brought tears to her eyes because so much of it was very much personal to her, including the news story of the little girl who was in the well. She loved her time in the 40s and felt ‘so many good men died in WWII, personal friends of hers. I really ‘got’ her sentiment of those times, but she really did like that movie. She also liked Midnight in Paris.
