  One of my favorites. And the pinnacle, IMO, of his earlier comedies. Just as "Cirmes and Misdemeanors" is the pinnacles of the later more serious films. Come on, Woody, give us one more pinnacle!

    "Love and Death" is also my favourite early Woody Allen film.

      I have only two Woody Allen films on DVD (I should really get more), this and my very favourite, Hannah & Her Sisters.

      His later films got deeper but not neccessarily funnier.

  and its also a very funny film. Often overlooked and it's one of Woody's best
  This had been an off-off Broadway production and the adlibs had merged with the lines and been finely honed by the cast before this ever became a film, and it shows
  The nebbish Woody, always unlucky in love, has a revolver twirling Bogart appear and offer him advice at his deepest moments of doubt (which are constant and ongoing)
  There's a scene where Woody and Keaton are on the sofa and Bogart is giving him advice on how to kiss her which is truly priceless

    My favorite is when he gestures to his blind date with an lp album and the record itself goes sailing across the room. Also later that evening his demonstration of how the Chinese use chopsticks is priceless
