Summary: Money In The Bank
Review: Take The Money & Run is the first film that featured the Woody Allen triple threat of writing, directing and starring. The film is set as a documentary on the life of the worst criminal of all-time, Virgil Starkwell, who never pulled off a successful crime in his life. The film is a fast-paced and sharply written. It sets up the Woody Allen persona, the likable loser, that he would portray in most of his subsequent films. Take The Money & Run is an excellent start to a movie legend's fabled career.

Summary: Hilarious film - Not so good DVD
Review: The counter scene when Allen's character says he is robbing the bank and has a "gub". That is hilarious!! Many more humorous scenes! One of America's best comics ever!!

Summary: Hilarious
Review: This film introduced a film generation to Woody Allen as film maker. A parody of a documentary about a bumblingcrook, its a loosely pieced together series of bits. Some miss the mark, but many are flat out hysterical. Woody robbing the bank (with the teller unable to correctly read his robbery note) and Woody on a chain gang are highlights.

Summary: Take the Money and Run (1969)
Review: This has to be one of the funniest movies ever made. When I first seen it was a Woody Allen movie, I didn't have high expectations. I decided to sit through it anyways. And, to my surprise I actually laughed through most of the entire movie. The documentary type style was the greatest idea. If you love irony this is a great movie to see. Heck, if you love to laugh this is a great movie to see. I give this one a big stamp of approval and I don't do that for many movies

Summary: Pant-wetter from Woody
Review: This is a classic Woody flick with great one-liners and physical bits. Best scenes--the chain gang, Woody playing cello in the marching band, his parents with the fake glasses and mustache, "That says gun, not gub!"

Summary: DVD Quality: Great picture, crummy sound
Review: This is a review of the Take the Money and Run -- not the movie, but the DVD itself. The movie is a classic comedy that is appropriate for kids of 10 and over, as well as adults. If you've never seen it, the humor is a riot even though it's over 30 years old. The DVD was just released and is a brilliant example of film restoration. The color is perfect, the grain is almost invisible, and you couldn't hope for a better print. The two-sided disk has TV-format on one side and letterbox on the other, but as the film was originally shot for TV the images are nearly identical. There are a couple of extra items that you can access after the end of the film, but they're typical stuff. The sound, however, leaves a lot to be desired. It's essentially mono, which is what you'd expect for a late-60's TV movie, but there are long intervals of noticeable hum. If you have a high-quality audio system, the 60-Hz hum sections are really annoying. In addition, there are a couple of key scenes where the voices have been so severely filtered that they sound quite unnatural. In a bizarre twist, the defects are more noticeable on better speakers...and almost imperceptable on a cheap TV speaker. So, listen to this one on your crummiest TV and you won't feel compelled to write reviews like this one!

Summary: Smart, crazy, consistently hilarious
Review: This is early Woody Allen at his hilarious best. He proves here that, when he wants to, he can go purely for laughs and score big. There are countless verbal and physical gags in this film and they're all brilliant. Beneath all the glorious bits, however, is a sweet love story--not so sweet that it obscures the comedy, however. This movie has ideas so fresh and funny, they'll stay with you forever. I know I'll never forget the first time I saw that gorilla chasing Woody out of a pet shop.

Summary: Absolutely hilarious
Review: This is one of those Woody Allen movies that most people have never seen, yet, in my opinion, is still one of his best. It's along the lines of "Bananas" and "Sleeper," so it's definitely a comedy, and it's just one laugh after another. No chase scenes. No surround sound. Just a very funny movie, and one of the few worth having in your collection. While this DVD is currently out of print, it's probably worth the the extra money as it's hard not to watch over and over. I've never seen it on TV or cable, and aside from my DVD, the only other time I've seen it was when it originally came out in the movies.

Summary: Comedy without errors
Review: This is the best of Woody Allen's strictly-for-laughs movies. The interview segments which he uses for both comedic and dramatic purposes in many of his films are probably the most fun here, particularly his "parents" who wear disguises. The gags are much better than in his "Bananas" and the more than slightly silly plot doesn't bog down as in his "Sleeper". There are no big moral soapboxes, this movie is just funny.
