Broadway Danny Rose

( 6 )

Overview

A smaller, amusing comedy from writer/director Woody Allen, Broadway Danny Rose begins with a bunch of show business vets sitting around a table at New York's Carnegie Deli and reminiscing about the legendary titular character, a loser of an agent who would represent anyone, including blind xylophonists, piano-playing birds, and has-been crooners with drinking problems. Allen plays Rose as a befuddled, warm-hearted schlub who finally has a shot at getting somewhere when he signs washed-up lounge singer Lou Canova...

More About This Product

Overview

A smaller, amusing comedy from writer/director Woody Allen, Broadway Danny Rose begins with a bunch of show business vets sitting around a table at New York's Carnegie Deli and reminiscing about the legendary titular character, a loser of an agent who would represent anyone, including blind xylophonists, piano-playing birds, and has-been crooners with drinking problems. Allen plays Rose as a befuddled, warm-hearted schlub who finally has a shot at getting somewhere when he signs washed-up lounge singer Lou Canova Nick Apollo Forte and nearly brings his career back to life. Danny gets him a date at the Waldorf, where Milton Berle is in the audience, looking for guests for his TV special. Canova has a complicated love life, juggling both a wife and a girlfriend. so he enlists Danny to take the girlfriend, Tina Vitale Mia Farrow, to the concert. But Canova and Tina have a fight, she goes back to her Mafioso boyfriend, and Danny winds up getting chased halfway around New York and New Jersey by the Mob. And of course, once Canova gets his big break, he dumps Danny for another agent. Allen, Forte, and especially Farrow all do strong work with characters that could have easily become stereotypes, and the film has a lighter, warmer touch than the Allen films that preceded it Stardust Memories and Zelig.

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide
One of the best films from Woody Allen's underrated early '80s period, Broadway Danny Rose immediately suggests the slightness of A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy but eventually reveals itself as a more substantive work thanks largely to Allen's performance in the title role. As an actor, Allen may be capable of offering only minor variations on the persona developed in his stand-up routine, but here he comes up with one of his most poignant -- a man kept from the bigtime not from some inherent flaw but through his own selflessness. The film also allows Mia Farrow a good deal more freedom than she has been granted in any other Allen outing: too much, it might be argued, during her gangster moll character's broader moments, but she manages a funny performance nonetheless. A borderline slapstick climax doesn't quite work, but by that point it doesn't quite matter: Allen has crafted a film that's immediately charming and, in the end, unexpectedly moving.

    Let me tell you my favorite Danny Rose story

    What a laugh riot !! The story begins in the Carnegie Deli in New York City. Several well known comedians are sharing a meal and their favorite Danny Rose story. Danny Rose is a theatrical agent with the worst acts. He has one successful client, Lou who had a regional hit record called Agita. The story centers around Danny Rose played by Woody Allen and Mia Farrow as Lou's mistress. Lou has an opportunity to be booked as part of a nostalgia tour. Lou has to perform for some talent scouts . He asks Danny to bring his mistress to the show. He asks Danny to pretend to be the mistress'boyfriend...to be the beard. And so the comedy begins..<BR/>Next to Annie Hall and The Purple Rose of Cairo and Sleeper, this movie is my favorite Woody Allen movie.
