Woody Allen is Allan Felix with a Humphrey Bogart complex (‘Play It Again, Sam,’ 1972)
Play It Again, Sam, written by and starring Woody Allen, is based on a play of the same name. The movie version was directed by Herbert Ross and made it to theaters in May of 1972.
Allen stars as Allan Felix, a nervous klutz around women who finds inspiration and bravery in visits from the ghost of Humphrey Bogart. Tony Roberts stars as Allan’s buddy, Dick and Diane Keaton plays Dick’s wife and Allan’s love interest, Linda. Somewhat surprisingly for the New York-obsessed Woody Allen, this very enjoyable relationship comedy is set in San Francisco. Catch the trailer.
