When Woody Allen's fans refer to his "earlier, funnier" pictures, they often cite his directorial debut as a shining example.

Woody shines in this early movie classic. Non-stop laughs throughout. Virgil has problems that just keep on getting worse, and funnier along the way. If you enjoy Woody flicks, you will love this one. A must for any collector too.
