drednm This is one of Woody Allen's best films. It's very funny and has a poignant ending. It also offers terrific performances by Allen and Mia Farrow as Tina.Bookended by a group of comics telling showbiz stories, Sandy Baron tells the tale of Danny Rose (Allen), a famously unsuccessful comic and theatrical talent manager. He manages a one-time pop singer (Nick Apollo Forte) who's making a comeback because of a nostalgia craze. He's also having an affair with Tina Vitale (Farrow), a no-talent interior decorator connected to the mob. The singer asks Allen to act as a "beard" and bring her to a big show he's doing as a nitery.But of course everything goes wrong. Allen and Farrow end up at a party in New Jersey where a dopey suitor is scorned by Farrow. The family thinks Allen is the new boyfriend and sets out to avenge his honor, with the old mother (Gina DeAngeles) screaming "Vendetta!" from a balcony.What ensues is a comedy romp with Allen and Farrow trying to outrun the two brothers with baseball bats. In the meantime, Forte's singer is finding new success and also a new manager.This is a near-perfect film. Woody Allen and Mia Farrow (almost unrecognizable) are great. Nick Apollo Forte is happily oily (and wrote two of the film's big songs). Milton Berle has no lines but shows up in a few scenes. Then there is the collection of hilariously bad acts Allen managers, from the blind xylophone player to the one-legged tap dancer.The ending is poignant and simple, set on a rainy day in New York City. Wonderful film.

suite92 The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: The film opens with a smoker party of comedians/entertainers who have operated in the Catskills and other clubs on the Atlantic seaboard. During their reminiscences, the group starts talking about the legendary nebbish personal manager Danny Rose.In the process, the story starts of Danny's nurturing the career of Lou Canova after it has already fallen a considerable distance. The comedians show up intermittently to nudge the story forward.Delineation of conflicts: Tina Vitale becomes important to Lou Canova, but she's a big bag of randomness. Dealing with her to keep Lou centered is Danny's challenge. Plus, Lou is married to Teresa, and has been for years. What could possibly go wrong? Danny finds out as Lou's career shows a few moments of picking up. Danny's problems get worse when Tina's relatives (part of the mob) get involved, and not in a nice way.Resolution: The nebbish and the doll go on the run. Will it save them?

TheLittleSongbird Maybe not top 5 Woody Allen but around or near the top 10. Broadway Danny Rose is somewhat different for him, he cuts down a little on the verbal wit, there's little deep analysing and there is nothing here that can be deemed as self-indulgent(like some Woody Allen films have been criticised to be), yet it is still characteristic of Allen's writing style and the humour is still unmistakable. Broadway Danny Rose is terrifically shot in black and white, there's a harshness but also a real beauty to the photography, and the costumes and scenery are lovely too. The music is filled with Allen's most used music genre, jazz, and it's very soulful and catchy, while Allen directs tightly but never heavy-handedly. The dialogue, even if other Woody Allen films are more insightful, is still witty and has many hilarious lines that are quotable too, but most of the humour in Broadway Danny Rose lies in the plot and characterisation which are both done brilliantly. There are many funny scenes especially the shoot out involving helium- probably the funniest scene of the entire film- and there is a light-heartedness that gives the film a real sweetness and charm that never felt forced. Not to mention that the film has a really poignant ending, more so than any other Woody Allen film apart from perhaps The Purple Rose of Cairo. Allen has never had a character more likable or sympathetic, he brings eccentricity to his performance that really sparkles but he also gives an understated touch that allows you to relate to him. An unrecognisable Mia Farrow also gives one of her best performances in any of his films, very amusing and confident. Overall, funny, sweet, touching and accessible, even non-Woody Allen fans are likely to find some value to it. 10/10 Bethany Cox

gridoon2018 For most other directors / writers / actors, "Broadway Danny Rose" would be a considerable (triple) achievement: there is terrific music, arty b & w photography, Woody (as an actor) at his most ingratiating, Mia Farrow (almost unrecognizable) at her loosest, solid supporting players, and a beautiful closing shot. However, by Woody Allen's own standards, this is a minor work in the grand total of his filmography; the main reason for that is that the story is too slight, and goes on a little too long (even though the movie is relatively short at 80 minutes). And the comedy produces smiles rather than belly laughs. Maybe it would have been more memorable if the role of Lou Canova had gone to the person that Allen, according to IMDb trivia, offered it to first: Sylvester Stallone! **1/2 out of 4.
