    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Richard Burton: Uncredited, as man in a strip club. Burton appears with Peter O'Toole in a scene in a bar where Burton asks O'Toole, "Don't you know me from someplace?". O'Toole responds: "Give my regards to what's her name". The dialogue is a reference to their appearance together in Becket (1964), and to Burton's wife at the time, Elizabeth Taylor. Screenwriter Woody Allen later said of the Burton cameo, "It was so cute, you want to vomit".

      Victor Skakapopulis: It's all I can afford.

    A farce of a farce (except for the song)
    Even for a budding great movie writer and producer such as Woody Allen, this film fails to measure up to the lowest level of entertainment. Heavy, plodding script, patchwork scenes, a very loose plot. Generally, not worth the time spent in watching it. HOWEVER, the Oscar-nominated title song, by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and as performed by the incomparable Tom Jones, makes it all worthwhile.
