  This picture is a masterpiece. It hits on all cylinders -- acting, casting, script, photography, set and costume design, etc. New York, New Jersey and a whole lost world are captured to perfection and sent up lovingly. And it's really, really funny. Like when Mia Farrow asks Woody Allen, a theatrical agent, what artists he represents besides "Lou Canova." He says, well, I represent a parakeet who sings "I've Gotta Be Me." OK, just trust me, it's a tremendous movie.

  Woody Allen is a genius at capturing the look and feel of a time gone by. This is a window into the world of old vaudeville acts with real empathy for the entertainers who were aging out, with no work and no place to go. Perfectly filmed in black and white. A tragedy with touches of humor added at times.

  Excellent film; relatively early Woody Allen. Watched throughout. Just like Marx brothers movies I have seen from 1/2 century before; this difference obviously giving it a different style.

  May not be the critics favorite Woody Allen film, but it's definitely the one I'd like to be stranded on a desert island (or Idaho) with.

  Very typically Woody Allen, which is a good thing. Wonderfully filmed in black and white, it has a great atmosphere and feel. Excellent writing. It's funny, touching and always a pleasure to watch. The cast does an excellent job. Great pace, superbly directed.
