Take The Money And Run (1969)

This was an early work of Woody Allen's which see's him star as an inept and accident prone criminal. I have to say that while it doesn't match up to some of his later works like Annie Hall, Bullets Over Broadway and Bananas. There is much to like about this movie.

1. It's consistently funny - While some of the laughs weren't sidesplitting, others really are genuinely great. One thing is for sure though- hardly any joke falls flat.
2. It wasn't too long. I hate comedies that out stay their welcome.
3. The supporting cast - You can have a great lead, director and writer (in this case all of them are the same person) but you need a great supporting cast too. Mostly this is attributed to Janet Margolin, who played Louise, Virgil's (Woody Allen's) wife

I can't honestly say that i would buy the DVD, but i did download it and would watch it again should i feel compelled to. I also can't say too much else about the movie. It's a good introduction to Woody Allen films, it's often funny and clever and it will appeal to people with a warped sense of humour.
