Product Description

Set in 1920's New York City, this movie tells the story of idealistic young playwright David Shayne. Producer Julian Marx finally finds funding for the project from gangster Nick Valenti. The catch is that Nick's girl friend Olive Neal gets the part of a psychiatrist, and Olive is a bimbo who could never pass for a psychiatrist as well as being a dreadful actress. Agreeing to this first compromise is the first step to Broadway's complete seduction of David, who neglects longtime girl friend Ellen. Meanwhile David puts up with Warner Purcell, the leading man who is a compulsive eater, Helen Sinclair, the grand dame who wants her part jazzed up, and Cheech, Olive's interfering hitman / bodyguard. Eventually, the playwright must decide whether art or life is more important.

John C. Mucci

One of Woody's best

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

This film of Woody Allen's, which was later made into a Broadway musical, is one of his more endearing concepts. When his setup is good, easily graspable and inherently funny the whole thing works almost effortlessly. Each character is clearly defined, and what happens to them is something you really care about--the best formula to have. This is one of the top ten Allen films for me.

European DVD - Unable to Play in my home player

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

I had to play this on my computer with VLC Media Player. The movie is great but I was unable to play the DVD on my home DVD/Blue Ray player as the DVD is European DVD and needs to be played on a European DVD player. I would have returned the movie but my daughter is doing the musical version of this movie and wanted to watch it before their show. I didn't have time to return and get another copy.

Cheech: "She can't act. Are you listening to me? She makes stuff not work; stuff she ain't even in. It comes out all twisted!"

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013

NOTE: This is NOT a DVD. It's a 12" Laserdisc. These record album-sized predecessors of today's DVDs were visually superior. Until the advent of Blu-Ray technology, Laserdiscs were the best video format available.

.
A true indicator of a great comedy is enjoying it more the on 5th or 10th viewing than you did on the first. Woody Allen's BULLETS OVER BROADWAY (1994) easily passes this test, with most actors given choice personality quirks and generous chances to "make 'em laugh."

Here, new young playwright/director David Shayne (John Cusack) is clearly in way over his head. He fights furiously for the plot and dialogue of a lousy script, and threatens to quit more than once at the hint of interference, but in the end David gives in to various actor demands. This causes him much remorse. Expressed late at night while stalking his bedroom in strange linen shortie PJs, David repeatedly screams: "I'm a whorrrrreeeeee!" By this point of total defeat, he also permits a foul-mouthed mob hitman named Cheech (Chazz Palmintieri) to rewrite the entire play, and even encourages his help.

For his part, Cheech starts out as a disinterested observer of rehearsals, reluctantly keeping an eye on the boss's moll, but once he puts his two cents in with line and plot improvements, Cheech becomes more protective of "God of Our Fathers" than its creator. To Cheech's mind, the only fault with "his" play lies in the gal he's supposed to protect...

...Olive Neal (Jennifer Tilly), a kindred spirit of SINGIN' IN THE RAIN 's Lina Lamont. Miss Tilly's screechy, untalented chorus girl pal of the gangster who's bankrolling Shayne's turgid disaster is perfection every second she's on the screen. Imagine this floozy trying to carry the role of a psychiatrist? To use Olive's own "brilliant" ad-lib: "HA!"

Tracey Ullman's annoyingly chirpy Eden Brent hands out "hello" gifts and jokes that she breast feeds her ever-present, always yapping chihuahua. No one at the rehearsal table doubts this.

Jim Broadbent as diet-challenged leading man Warner Purcell rapidly eats himself into the shape and size of a small dirigible. If you need a quick nosh, just reach into any of Warner's pockets. This glutton even steals the chihuahua's doggy snacks. His belly corset is about to burst apart but Warner keeps greedily shoveling in the grub.

Dianne Weist as Helen Sinclair, a deeply-into-middle-age leading lady, starts an off-stage romance with her latest director. Helen thinks David's rewrites are brilliant; he's guilt-stricken and wants to confess that every new idea and line belongs to thuggish Cheech. Whenever David tries to come clean or profess his love, Helen puts a hand over his mouth and drowns out all words with: "Don't speak. Don't speak. No, don't speak. Don't, don't, don't" etc.

Even peripheral characters, like Rob Reiner's Marxist playwright Sheldon Flender (who wears theatrical failure as a badge of honor), or Jack Warden as Julian Marx, David's nervous agent, have more than one amusing moment. A final hat tip to Joe Viterelli as da Boss, Nick Valenti, the deep-pocketed gangster without whom "God of Our Fathers" never would've gotten to rehearsals. Nick has the charm of three bulldogs and a way with words that would make a longshoreman blush.

Past the Boston tryout stage now, and with the play due for its Broadway debut, the simmering Cheech has secretly found a way to make everything just right....

Also with: Mary-Louise Parker, Harvey Fierstein, Edie Falco, Debi Mazar, Brian McConnachie, Tony Sirico and John Hoyt.

Excellent tongue in cheek portrait of stage artists,darling! With some very funny one-liners and some excellent intentionally ham performances and a bit of old fashioned gangster action thrown in for good measure!!

I thank other reviewers for explaining what this film is about. The sound (stereo, not surround) was very poor for understanding the diction and it had me searching for the subtitles which didn't exist. I gave up watching but shall try again one day when I've mustered up some patience and have read other reviews and synopses.

Funny, and often forgot masterpiece from Allen.

All the funnier that he doesn't crowbar himself into a role for a younger guy.

Brilliant.
