Take the Money and Run (1969)
Country: US
Technical: col 85m
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Woody Allen, Janet Margolin
Synopsis:
The career of incompetent crook, Virgil Starkwell.
Review:
Basically Allen's first solo effort, employing a biographical, episodic style to which he would return with such as Zelig and Radio Days. The scenes left to the actors are not always very funny, but the possibilities afforded by the interplay of commentary and interviews on the one hand, and pictorialisations on the other, though at times written for easy laughs, are comprehensively availed and irresistible.
