Actors: Woody Allen, Mia Farrow
Director: Woody Allen
Allen really puts the 'broad' in 'Broadway Danny Rose'. A story about a down-on-his-luck talent agent who has to bring his best client's mistress to the culmination of his comeback and the absurdities that arise from that adventure, Rose is tonally inconsistent but perhaps that's one of its charms. The story is, after all, mostly told by someone else - perhaps we can see the broader elements of the plot being the narrator's inventions rather than elements of the original story. The film is strongest when it's waxing nostalgic about show business; the weakest elements come when we turn away from that world. Still, I feel like this could've been a great film instead of just a good one.
