One of the first "Mockumentaries", Allen's 1969 classic, 'Take the Money and Run' follows the hapless New York criminal and no-hoper, Virgil Starkwell as he, his wife, and his heavily disguised parents discuss his growing notoriety amongst the New York underworld. The film follows his lives, his loves, his stays in prison, and his poor spelling of the word 'Gun'. The film has been described as Allen's 'Cool hand Luke' but the Jewish psychotic juxtaposed against Newman's cool White Anglo Saxon provides much of the film's comedy. One of Allen's great assets was his ability to write classic one liners and this movie does not disappoint. Memorable lines such as, "The prisoners were fed one hot meal per day: a bowl of steam" run throughout the whole film. Another classic moment is when he says of his future wife on first meeting her, "after half an hour, I completely gave up the idea of snatching her purse." If you want to see one of the wittiest films ever made by one of the wittiest filmmakers of our time, buy this film. If, for any reason, you can't afford it, write a note to the video store counter staff warning them that you have a 'Gub' and that you aren't afraid to use it!!!Read full review
Being a fan of woody Allen's early films purchasing Take the Money and Run was not a difficult decision to make Even after 44 years it dull hold well in terms of character analysis as well as slapstick comedy. The purchase is easy to archive-being a CD size storage card product, it is space saving. Highly recommended
I purchased this DVD for Jan,et MARGOLIN who is a brightfull woman. She is still but the movies is not so good, fortunately I bought it cheaply. Film décevant malgré le charme de Janet MARGOLIN pour qui j'avais acheté cd dvd.
Like Woody Allen
