Product Description
From Amazon.com
Often overlooked, Broadway Danny Rose has developed a cult following among select Woody Allen fans; Chris Rock, of all people, says it's one of his favorite films. Allen plays a devoted talent agent for acts whose talent is, shall we say, marginal. But one of his clients, a faded singer named Lou Canova (Nick Apollo Forte), suddenly has a chance to perform for a record executive. Nervous, Canova insists that Rose bring his girlfriend to the show--unfortunately, his girlfriend is Tina Vitale (Mia Farrow), the wife of a big-time mobster. (Farrow's performance is superb and unlike anything else in her career: loud, brassy, and comically obnoxious.) Part caper, part-show biz satire, Broadway Danny Rose would make an excellent companion to Paper Moon; both are a delightful combination of nostalgia and cutting observations about human nature. --Bret Fetzer

This is a funny movie! Even if you are not a particular fan of Woody Allen, this one is sure to get you! Beautifully written story! Mia Farrow as she has never been seen before. She really shows her acting talent in this one! A must-own movie, for sure!!

A lovely modern fable,
By
This review is from: Broadway Danny Rose (DVD)
A sweet, fun, well-told, Damon Runionesque fable about a well meaning if pathetic theatrical manager who gets caught up with the mob. Perhaps it's not quite as amazing or ground-breaking as Allen's very best films, but there's a touching, gentle, funny humanity that runs through it all.Mia Farrow gives what is arguably the strongest performance of her career -- she certainly stretches way beyond her usual image-- to play a tough, gum chewing mafia gun mol. It's also interesting to see Woody play a bit more of a 'character' than usual. The film is full of lovely black and white images, though it's not as visually striking as the greatest of the Gordon Wills/Allen collaborations like 'Manhattan'. If you have any interest in Allen's work (and if you're a film fan it's hard not to), then it's well worth seeing - or re-seeing. It's also yet another of Allen's films that's 'currently unavailable' new -- a very disturbing trend among his films. Hopefully this indicates a series of forthcoming re-releases and perhaps upgrades to blu-ray, but it's been months since even the classic 'Annie Hall' officially went out of print, with no announcement about a replacement. I worry that this could be one of those rights battles or other situations that deprives film fans of some of the greatest cinematic works. So you might consider stocking up on Allen's work while you can!

"never took a lesson",
By
This review is from: Broadway Danny Rose (DVD)
when a bunch of famous comics sit around a deli and tell stories of broadway danny rose, woody allen acts out the vignettes and visually delivers their punchlines. mia farrow literally wears him out so allen has to stay sharper than usual making this allen's best in my books. strongly reccommend.
