4.0 out of 5 stars Classy debut, September 16, 2007

This review is from: NEW Take The Money & Run (widescre (DVD) (DVD)

Woody Allen stars and directs for the first time, and what a success it turns out to be. There are many great sight gags as well as the usual number of quality one-liners. The film is done in a documentary style, telling the story of Virgil Starkwell, an incompentent petty criminal, played by Woody of course.

To pick a favourite moment out is difficult. However, if forced to pick one I'd go for the scene where Virgil tries to rob a bank, and fails because he hands over a note where the word gun can easily be mistaken for gub. Consequently the entire bank staff and customers are all arguing whether the word is gun or gub. Woody insists its gun; everybody else thinks its gub...

This is definitely one of Woody's early funny ones!

3.0 out of 5 stars Only 3 Stars, for bad item description, August 11, 2009

This is a great Woody Allen film.
However, it is only 85 minutes long, just like every other release.
The description claims uncut 91 minute version. There is no extra material.

It is widescreen, but I have to compare it side-by-side with a VHS version to acertain if making it widescreen cuts off the bottom and top of the picture.
All special features are only written text and only in Korean, so virtually no special features unless you read Korean.

Don't buy this because the description claims uncut version.
It is not.
It is, however, a really funny Woody film! Buy any domestic release.

Allen's first film as director, not the one of his best, but a good start to his brilliant career. All charasteristics of his ego are here seeding. After this about one movie a year which is pretty incredible. I hope he keeps going.
