Play It Again Sam

Our homely hero has a problem. He idolizes Humphrey Bogart, but has none of his charm. His friends try to fix him up with beautiful dates, but he’s so gauche that they always end abysmally. If only he had some of Bogart’s technique! Fact is, he is more like a friendly dog than a hero, and this is what charms his best friend’s wife to the point that they spend a night together. Now our hero is in a real mess. It’s a tough life, making it in the world of beautiful people, when you yourself are homely, but it is grand fun to follow.

“Hilarious… A cheerful romp. Not only are Mr. Allen’s jokes with their follow ups, asides and twists audaciously brilliant, but he has a great sense of character.” N.Y Times
