Starring: Woody Allen | Janet Margolin | Marcel Hillaire | Lonny Chapman | Jan Merlin | Louise Lasser
Director: Woody Allen
Run time: 82 mins
Genres: Comedy
Languages: English
Woody Allen's directorial debut, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, is a hilarious mock documentary about the life and crimes of one Virgil Starkwell--a man who always ends up getting his glasses crushed. Familiar newsreel voice Jackson Beck narrates the tale of the hapless criminal and his ridiculous plans that repeatedly blow up in his face--sometimes literally. When Starkwell, played by Allen, falls in love with Louise (Janet Margolin), he tries to change, but he comes to realize that he is a born criminal--and a born loser. Allen fills his movie with sight gags galore, including his escaping from prison with a gun made out of soap--then getting caught in the rain, and his parents being interviewed wearing Groucho Marx disguises. Many bits from his stand-up routine also are scattered throughout the screenplay, cowritten with Mickey Rose. Numerous small touches and themes in this film would show up in Allen's later work, but here they are played exclusively for laughs--and the laughs come nonstop as Virgil puts together a gang and plans a big bank job that he believes will get his family back on their feet. Allen's wonderful documentary style would influence such later mockumentaries as THIS IS SPINAL TAP and THE RUTLES; it is relentless in its verbal and visual attack on the senses, a worthy debut for a filmmaker who would change the face of comedy in the coming decades.
Radio Times
After years of writing for TV and doing his own stand-up routine, Woody Allen finally made his debut as co-writer, director and star with this ambitious cod documentary. Nicely joshing the “Voice of Doom” style of narration and such Hollywood movies as The Defiant Ones, the film gets off to a flying start, with public enemy Virgil Starkwell's childhood remaining among the funniest things Allen has ever done. The inspiration slowly ebbs away, however, and it has to be admitted that the last ten minutes are something of a chore. Hats off to Jackson Beck for the superb voiceover. Allen's co-author was Mickey Rose, who did the same for Bananas.
