      This is a typical satirical film. An amateur thief who can only open a safe, gathered a group of dull accomplices to grab the bank by digging tunnels.

After getting rich, in order to integrate into the upper class, the wife hired art merchants to transform her life, and drifted away from her husband. Unexpectedly, her feelings were deceived. In the end, the chain of...

      The Flower Girl and the Duke of Windsor

      Just watched Woody Allen's "Amateur Thief" and talked about a small plot in the movie. It was Frenchy and David going to a candlelight dinner together after a day of dating, when the two began to exchange gifts.

      David gave Frenchy a copy of Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw, which was the original script of the movie "A Fairy Lady". After watching the Hepburn fans of "The Fair Lady", Hepburn performed Eliza, a flower girl from the bottom of society, and met Henry Higgins, a professor of...

      fate's joke

      Whatever you want to do, stay in the dream file.
      What we don't want to do makes us go through trials and tribulations every day.
      The people in the film not only thought about it day and night, but also did it boldly. But what was the result? When the protagonist holds the exact same jewelry in both hands and cannot distinguish the true from the false, in addition to the belly, there is sourness. What kind of sadness should a man's life be when his dream of being a thief has been...

      Still the classic from the beginning. It's a bit annoying later, this is black humor, deliberately bore you, and borrowed to satirize some high-society...

      Woody Allen should have concocted a play without much brain cells, such as a cold joke, absurd, and the market response is average, a simple three-stage drama structure, about husband and wife and interpersonal relationships. There is no need to delve into the plot, as long as the truth is explained thoroughly, as long as life is indifferent, it is easy to go from poor to rich, and it is not difficult to go from rich to poor. Hugh Grant also played "himself" in Woody Allen's play, and was in a...

    Evaluation action

    "Small Time Crooks" did not appear a breakthrough scene, director Woody Allen almost gave up all those unique techniques in the past, instead telling a modern fairy tale with dramatic changes in the form of a popular drama. The protagonist of the fairy tale is just like ordinary little people in the city. They realize their dreams in the film and give them helpless comfort. Although the film carries the narcotic power of "the poor have...

    Movie quotes

    • [last lines]

      Frenchy: Hey, It was you who taught me how to open a safe.

      Ray: That was one of my fondest memories of our time together... What are you saying? You boosted this from David's safe? Frenchy, that's stealing.

      Frenchy: Not exactly. Look, it's a long story, Ray. Let's sell it, and I'll fill you in on the flight to Miami.

      Ray: Sweetheart, you are the greatest.

      Frenchy: Yeah.

    • David: I'm talking about Henry James, the author. Yeah? Well, this is where he lived and this is where he worked.

      Ray: Where did he eat? I'm hungry. I don't care where he lived. I want to know where he ate.

      Frenchy: I remember! "The Hair-ess", right?

      David: The "H" is silent.

      Frenchy: Oh, did he write that too?

    • Ray: What is this?

      Frenchy: It's a Damon Dexter. A discovery of David's.

      Ray: Yeah? I say it's depressing.

      Frenchy: Knock it off. You wouldn't know a masterpiece if it bit you in the ass.

      Ray: I refuse to look at this, Frenchy.

      Frenchy: And what's that supposed to mean?

      Ray: It means as long as this is there on the wall, I don't look at that wall.
