About this product

Product Information

Woody Allen leads a revolution in a small Latin American dictatorship in this hysterical comedy that parodies everything from the American media and political activism to the CIA and the judicial system. Allen plays Fielding Mellish, a nebbish unwilling to commit to anything--until he meets Nancy, played by Louise Lasser. Mellish soon finds himself fighting with guerrilla forces in the small third world country of San Marcos, and he becomes an international figure, even appearing on ABC's WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS with Howard Cosell (who plays himself). The film is loaded with sight gags that pay homage to Chaplin, Bergman, and the Marx Brothers. It also tackles politics, government, and religion, even breaking for a commercial for cigarettes endorsed by the church! One of the most memorable scenes of Allen's career occurs when Mellish defends himself in the funniest courtroom scene since the Three Stooges' DISORDER IN THE COURT. Allen's obsessions with food, sex, and death begin to take form here, on their way to becoming major themes in such films as LOVE AND DEATH, ANNIE HALL, and HANNAH AND HER SISTERS.

  • Good, but other Woody Allen comedies seem better.

    I am a fan of Woody Allen's comedy films, especially the earlier ones. This one, though I have no regrets for viewing it, does not, seem to measure up to others....guess I am more used to the ones that express more his New York City Jewish neuroticiisms.

  • Funny film!!!!

    Great classic!!!! Although, all of the gags don't all land however most hit the target. The story, as with tmany Allen films, is about a nebish character who has a fallout with his girlfriend and proceeds to find solice in some other capacity. In this case, he goes to a Central American nation and gets caught up in a revolution. Very funny However, I believe beginning of film is funnier then later part. Recommend.
