Speaking of the little old man, since "Annie Hall" (Annie Hall, 1977) completed a leap in the art of film, the entire 80s and 90s have appeared frequently, and a film history classic has been published every few years. The little old man made too many movies, so many of them were slowly forgotten and did not receive the attention they deserve, such as "Broadway Danny Rose" in 1984, which also translated "Broadway Danny Rose." It is one of the underrated Woody Allen films.

Films are difficult to categorize, and can be regarded as ordinary plot comedies, or pseudo-character biopics, or romance films. It is about the past of an acting agent. The beginning and the end are the same scene at different times. At the beginning, several middle-aged people were talking about the agent Danny Rose (naturally played by Woody Allen) in the restaurant, so the main part of the film is composed of several large flashbacks, and the narration is the source Narrated by one of them.

Danny was originally a comedian, and later became an agent. The film tells the story of a singer named Lou Canova as an agent. But if you look at it, you will find that what you want to tell is actually his love story.

The whole film is full of joyful Italian style. Canova has been popular, and Danny wants to praise him again, introduce him to a man named Milton, a big man in the industry, and arrange a performance for Milton to listen to. This performance is very important. Whether it can be popular depends on it, so Canova is very nervous. He has a lover named Tina , played by Mia Farrow, who wears sunglasses all the time at the beginning, and is very strangely dressed, almost unrecognizable. Canova must let Tina come to the show and give him spiritual encouragement. In order to hide his wife, let Danny pretend to be her male partner.

However, when Danny went to pick her up, they found that they were arguing on the phone, which was embarrassing. Tina ran away to attend an Italian wedding, and Danny chased after her. The climax is coming. There is an Italian who is pursuing Tina. After learning that Tina has another lover, he plans to commit suicide and treats Danny as her lover. Of course he didn't die. His two Mafia brothers planned to kill Danny and avenge him! From here on, the climax has been round after round. First, the killer was found outside the restaurant, and the two ran away. Danny stated that he was a Hebrew on land and could not travel by boat. On the boat, Tina recalled that she had found another agent for Canova, who would also watch the show that night.

After a brief safety, the two were still caught by the Mafia and forced Danny to tell who Tina’s true lover was, so Danny gave a name...but he was talking about the name of a stuttering comedian. ! He thought this person was on tour and was not here. But Danny and Tina were still tied there, in a funny way... Danny had a whim, imitating the escape master, and broke free of the rope in a "twist" manner. Just imagine how they twisted, and you can realize it... Sure enough, they managed to escape! Later, there was a gorgeous adventure, so I won't say more, it's ridiculous.

In short, they rushed to the show, Canova sang a great success, and Danny also learned that Tina and Canova plan to replace themselves. Lost Danny went to visit the stuttering artist who was beaten up instead of him.

The whole film climaxed and laughed constantly, but it was a pity that the little old man gave himself a satisfactory ending. Tina lost her soul all day and realized that she was in love with Danny, and Danny also missed Tina, so they were together. Look at the scene where they are talking on the street. Does it resemble the end of "Anne Hall"?

Danny Rose obviously has the shadow of the little old man himself. Woody Allen has been a genius for funny since he was a child. When he was 15 years old, he began to write jokes in some newspaper columns, and later wrote jokes for radio stations. After graduating from high school, write scripts for TV shows. In 1961, he officially became a comedian and performed in the taverns, nightclubs and small theaters of Greenwich Village, where he became famous for a while. Later, he began to write stage plays, which was a big success on Broadway, and then formally moved towards movies until today.

"Danny Rose" was nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay by Okas, and Mia Farrow was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy at the Golden Globe for this film. After that, the film did not cause any waves and became the embellishment of Woody Allen's many excellent films.
