Trivia:
This is the second of two Woody Allen films using Irving Aaronson and his Commanders' performance of Cole Porter's "Let's Misbehave" during the closing credits. The first was 1972's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask." moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Helen gives David a gift on his birthday, she calls him a Scorpio, but two scenes later it is only September 24th. The Sun does not enter the sign of Scorpio until the end of October. David is a Virgo or a Libra. moreQuotes:
Olive: Hey, didn't I tell you to make "horse durves"?Venus: I don't make nothin' out of horses, especially "horse durves", 'cause I don't know what they are, and neither do you.
Olive: Oh, aren't you the big mouth since you hit your number!
[raising her voice]
Olive: And I said the imported stuff!
Venus: The imported stuff ate through the bottle! It's gone!
Olive: A likely story!
[composing herself - to David]
Olive: It's very hard to get good help these days.

Woody Allen sends up the world of Broadway and the gangsters who love it in this Runyonesque comedy, one of his very best.
John Cusack is the Allen surrogate, a nebbish playwright who's struggling to remain true to his artistic vision amongst countless obstacles. Those obstacles include: a gangster's girlfriend (Jennifer Tilly) who Cusack is forced to cast in a lead role; her bodyguard (Chazz Palmienteri), who reveals quite a few dramatic instincts; a high-maintenance diva (Dianne Wiest, uproarious); a leading man who eats too much (Jim Broadbent); and a dithery actress very much in love with her dog (Tracy Ullman).
Because Allen sets his movie in a world he knows well (NY theatre), this feels like one of his strongest and most realized screenplays. The whole thing is a riot. Between Wiest, Tilly and Ullman, I still can't decide who's funniest.
Grade: A
