And, as in nearly all of his best films, the city of New York - with its character and its floavour, played a wonderful role in furthering the subtle melancholia of the otherwise funny occurrences in the film.

The Allen/Farrow scenes are very funny, and the writing is subtle, with a satiric underpinning. As well as any film, Allen uses New York locations to authentic and compelling effect.<br /><br />Wonderful capsule review!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-45221491850898247742011-02-11T09:06:32.155+05:302011-02-11T09:06:32.155+05:30Thanks a lot Ed for sharing your enthusiasm for th...Thanks a lot Ed for sharing your enthusiasm for the film. Yeah, as you said, parts of the film are really touching - the scenes you've mentioned are worth remembering. And as all good Woody Allen films, this too has been very well written, and I quite loved the wit, humour-quotient and the observations. And by the way, its really nice to hear from you after a long time.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-21953646432977550382011-02-10T23:55:05.421+05:302011-02-10T23:55:05.421+05:30It's nice to see an appreciation of this, alwa...It's nice to see an appreciation of this, always one of my favorite Woody Allen films. You're right, it's a light comedy at heart and because of that it desn't get the universal praise of some of Woody's more serious films from around the same time, but it's still great. The helium chase sequence always gets to me, as far as laughs go, and the Thanksgiving scene at the end is surprisingly touching.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.com
