Must-see4/4 · Great. Watch it, and watch it properly.
A Woody Allen comedy about a playwright in the 1920s trying to keep control over his latest play. This is easily one of the best Woody Allen movies, and possibly the best comedy with a plot. There are several layers of humor: it mocks pseudointellectuals; it explores the issue of the creative control struggle between the artist and the producer; and, at the same time, it has the meta argument of being a play about a play.

What it's about
After young playwright, David Shayne obtains funding for his play from gangster Nick Valenti, Nick's girlfriend Olive miraculously lands the role of a psychiatrist—but not only is she a bimbo who could never pass for a psychiatrist—she's a dreadful actress. David puts up with the leading man who is a compulsive eater, the grand dame who wants her part jazzed up, and Olive's interfering hitman/bodyguard—but, eventually he must decide whether art or life is more important.
