Not only is this classic Woody Allen but he's up to his best ploy, which is to say, his character and his female dodging bad guys (Manhattan Murder Mystery). The story is funny and sometimes sweet, with hilarious exaggerated archetypes. The best part is the character of Danny. Especially funny is his meandering method of dealing. I love how invested he is in his aside story when the wiseguy tells him to shut UP. Danny Rose is an agent for loser acts and one that might finally make it, a big fat boozer guido crooner who cheats on his wife with Tina (Mia Farrow). There is also the beautiful chiaroscuro B&W cinematography. The scene where Danny and Tina escape their bonds (one of the funniest) and then escape the warehouse is a knock-out, when their "jailer" sees them from his window his silhouette on half the screen, priceless.
