Broadway Danny Rose (1984)
Talent Drought
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Broadway Danny Rose (1984) is one of Woody Allen's masterpieces, a gorgeous, moving black-and-white homage to a grade-Z theatrical agent (Allen) and his attempts to get a washed-up Italian crooner (Nick Apollo Forte) back into the limelight. Mia Farrow co-stars in one of her best performances as the dimwit blonde who smites both the singer and Danny. The story is told in flashback by a bunch of old-time showbiz vets sitting around a deli and swapping funny Danny Rose stories. Like Hannah and Her Sisters it strikes a perfect balance between structure, pathos, and sheer laughs.
