In one scene a 'fan' of Allen's 'character' (Sandy Bates) is already in his hotel bed ready to 'make it' with Bates and she is wearing a t-shirt with a photographic likeness of Allen's head. I would like to have this same t-shirt, but for ironic purposes.
I don't even think I can make it through half of this film. I'm pretty much checked out already. Woody, I gave you another shot, and I don't know if we will ever be on the same page.
Ultimately, despite all of the homages, this film just doesn't work for me having Allen in front of the camera.
Like the image on the wallpaper of the Bates' apartment... this film is maddening and not in an intriguing way.
Here's the trailer:
I never cared for any film with Woody Allen in it. I can understand how he loses the girls, but can't figure out he gets them in the first place. Anyway, I will say that "Purple Rose of Cairo" is a pretty good film by Woody Allen and even better since he isn't in it.
