It's funny that I can watch over ten film from one director and still not know much of the filmmaker's work. But that's how it goes with Woody Allen who has made approximately 2,000 films.

I watched this without even considering it much and ended up loving it completely. What's its standing among his other films? I loved the photography, I loved the framing structure, I loved its simplicity... everything. I know this is an awful thing to say, but Annie Hall and Manhattan don't inspire much admiration from me. This was way more fun to watch, without being quite as silly as Sleepers or Banannas.

Someone please teach me how to watch Woody Allen films.

I'm shocked that this movie isn't more widely regarded as one of Woody's very best, as of those I've seen so far, this is second only to Annie Hall. A phenomenally enjoyable film. I love the structure of the movie, the framing device is great; I love the music, "Agita" has been stuck in my head since I saw this two days ago. The black-and-white gives the hilarious, clever story an appropriately vintage look; Woody Allen gives one of his absolute best performances as the titular Rose. A brilliant movie.

To quote Danny Rose, "May I interject one statement at this juncture?" Comedic, tragic, and magnificently entertaining, Woody Allen's Broadway Danny Rose is a fine example of a writer and director at the top of his game, though I'm not sure the man has ever truly been off it.

The flashback storytelling, done by a group of reminiscing comedians, serves as an excellent framing device for Allen's tale of a theatrical agent trying to book his talent Lou Canova (Nick Apollo Forte), a musical has-been with an ego bigger than his faded stardom should allow.

The jokes, the setups, the quirks, the wits, they are all classic Woody Allen and they work to the utmost degree here. Broadway Danny Rose is simply fantastic.

Woody Allen at the top of his game.

My new favourite Jew.

An agent (Woody Allen) who handles acts who can't get representation anywhere else hits gold with a washed up lounge singer (Nick Apollo Forte) who seems poised for a comeback. Unfortunately, a lot of baggage comes with him, particularly a temperamental mistress with Mafia connections (Mia Farrow).

This is one of Woody Allen's "small" pictures, but also one of his best. It seems like more of a plot-driven farce than some of his weightier meditations on mortality and the human heart, but this can be deceiving. Danny Rose's absolute commitment to loyalty may get him kicked around by life, but it also leads him to something more important than success. Most importantly, it is consistently funny.

An incredibly entertaining film. It's hysterical, charming and filled with terrific dialogue. Mia Farrow steals the film- it's fascinating to see her play someone so different from her usual characters. I also love the way Allen chose to tell the story, by cutting to the (incredibly realistic) scenes of the comedians in the deli. When it comes to light entertainment, you can't do much better than this.

Very cute. Mia Farrow is practically unrecognizable, and in a way that’s a good thing… credit to her skills in any case. And Woody is at his sweetest. It’s very funny as well, I’ve never seen helium used to such hilarious results. Good movie.

A fun lighthearted comedy from Woody Allen about a talent manager for some rather weird acts. Not a classic, but still good.

Charming and light-footed - but for me, a little bit TOO short and uncomplicated to rank among the very best of Woody's.

This Zelig-meets-Manhattan-meets-Stardust Memories-meets-oh, look, it's a black and white early 1980s Woody Allen, you know what it's like, farce does exactly what you want it to, without a moment wasted. Allen is an unsuccessful New York showbiz agent tasked to convince his client's girlfriend to attend a show, and the whole film is an anecdote between several hacks at a restaurant some years later. The hugely underrated Mia Farrow is initially unrecognisable as the cynical Tina, despite the only difference being that she is wearing sunglasses, and while this isn't quite an Early Funny One, it is much funnier and more light-hearted than most of Allen's other films at this stage in his career. Not quite vital or classic Woody Allen, but as a fast-paced, clever little vaguely-romantic comedy, it's hard to fault.

Second tier Woody Allen films are still better than most other films.

Parte de la intención del reto #350 era ver la mayor cantidad de películas posibles consideradas "indispensables". Decía que me gustaba mucho Woddy Allen pero en realidad había visto muy poco de él. Está muy perro este señor, además de escribir cantidades increíbles de material, dirige y actúa, y lo mejor de todo es que le sale. Y uno, uno no puede escribir una reseña decente de una de sus películas.
