A loser agent in showbiz (Woody Allen, pictured left) inadvertently gets on the wrong side of the Mafia.

Reviewed by Chris Tookey

Woody Allen gives one of his most appealing performances as a showbiz agent whose variety acts invariably walk out on him as soon as they achieve success. Mia Farrow (pictured right) is a revelation - and almost unrecognizable - in the role of a Mafia gangster's moll. The comedy is low-key but gradually sneaks up on you, with its endearing affection for the naff end of showbiz. Perhaps Woody Allen's most underrated film.
