Plot Summary	Danny Rose is a manager of artists, and although he's not very successful, he nevertheless goes out of his way to help his acts. So when Lou Canova, a singer who has a chance of making a come-back, asks Danny to help him with a problem, Danny helps him. This problem is Lou's mistress Tina. Lou wants Tina to be at his concerts, otherwise he can't perform, but he's married, so Danny has to take her along as if she was his girlfriend. Danny however gets more than he has bargained for when two mobsters come looking for the guy who has hurt their brother by stealing the heart of Tina, the girl he loves.

Trivia	The reason Mia Farrow wears sunglasses most of the film is that Woody Allen did not feel she could pass herself as a tough Italian "broad", so he had her wear the sunglasses most of the film to hide her eyes, making her seem more sultry and mysterious. See more »
Goofs	In one scene, Danny can be seen walking past a movie theater, that advertises Q: The Winged Serpent (1982) and Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) on the marquee. However, the film is supposed to take place in the late 1960s. See more »

Quotes	Danny Rose: You know what my philosophy of life is? That it's important to have some laughs, no question about it, but you gotta suffer a little too' because, otherwise you miss the whole point to life. And that's how I feel Tina Vitale: Know what my philosophy of life is? Danny Rose: I can imagine. Tina Vitale: It's over quick, so have a good time. You see want you want, you go for it. Don't pay any attention to anyone else. And do it to the other guy first, because, if you don't, he'll do it to you. Danny Rose: This is a philosophy of life? This is - it sounds like the screenplay to "Murder Incorporated". See more »
