What impressed me most was the scene where the stupid thieves dug up the water pipe. When the police went to the biscuit shop to buy something, they heard an unusual movement and asked the proprietress what was going on, but Woody Allen, who was soaked by the water, just ran out. Fearing that the plan would be exposed, he lied that he was a "plumber". What a cute little old man!
Woody Allen, combined with the sudden and funny irony and humor, alleviated the sometimes too serious themes.
