Not sure I had ever seen this before and found it quite a pleasant surprise. It is not as funny as, I'm sure, it is supposed to be but that is because one or two of the jokes are pertinent both to a place and time not now familiar. There is also a fair reliance on slapstick, which is not as Allen seems here to suppose, just running around, something funny should actually happen. The trad jazz accompaniment for which Allen contributes clarinet is great and helps things enormously. For the most part it is likeable and amusing enough with both Woody Allen and Diane Keaton most engaging. The pacing is good, the effects perfectly fine and if not laugh out funny then a very pleasant 90 minutes.
