Bullets Over Broadway - 1994 - 7/10

Roaring 20’s finds a young, aspiring playwright.
His script is a dud, yet he lands financing from a gangster, if he casts his girlfriend.
Along with the moll, Olive, tags a thug bodyguard, who watches rehearsals with increasing interest.
So much so, that he soon begins kibitzing, offering suggesting how to improve lines, scenes, narratives.
Excellent mix of crime and comedy, backstage antics and flawed ambitions.
Terrific ensemble cast garnered multiple award nominations.
One of Woody’s best films, although theatre goers may catch more jokes.
