Broadway Danny Rose Reviews
A dare-devil manager in search of the bliss!
Seeking desperately by all means Woody Allen will boost career over the hill singer Apollo Forte. This decade finds Woody immersed in high creative spirit. If the seventies consolidated his irreverent and caustic profile, he turns inside the human soul trying to understand, scrutinize and feed the most intimate desires. If Woody has to place across the frontier between the struggling reality and the illusory universe on the screen, he will cross that line and bringing back to real world, supporting them, and showing us those characters also live, suffer and have to fight against their particular demons.
In this dreamily circumstances the reality 's terrible weight seems to diminish, when it' s faced against the pretended inaccessibility and assumed invulnerability of the fiction characters. Somehow Woody returned to the mythical meaning and psychical roots of the cinema understood like the possible land and not only a Fantasy land. He opened a new gate and in that is why I consider it as one of the most creative proposals of this unexhausted filmmaker.
Splendid cast and innovator script. A resonant triumph.
A treat for Woody's fans
Fans of Woody Allen are sure to enjoy the comedy, "Broadway Danny Rose." He plays Danny, a third-rate manager of has-been performers, including Lou, a washed-up singer who may be making a comeback. Lou wants his girlfriend to come to his big show (without his wife knowing), so he asks Danny to bring her. Danny and Tina (Mia Farrow) end up spending a frenetic day together running from hit men.
This movie is basically an eighty-four minute monologue by Allen doing his typical fast-talking-schmoozer routine. The dialogue is fast and funny and Allen is, well, Allen. Mia Farrow is almost unrecognizable as a cheap bimbo and does a good job playing against type, but the spotlight is on Woody all the way. Filmed in black and white in cinema-verite style on the streets of New York, this is vintage Woody Allen with non-stop one-liners and show-biz jokes.
