Bullets Over Broadway
A killer comedy!
Directed by Woody Allen
Produced by Miramax, Jean Doumanian Productions
A witty, energetic comedy about artistic compromise set in 1920s Broadway, where a young playwright navigates eccentric actors, mobsters, and the eternal tension between creative integrity and practical survival.
After young playwright, David Shayne obtains funding for his play from gangster Nick Valenti, Nick's girlfriend Olive miraculously lands the role of a psychiatrist—but not only is she a bimbo who could never pass for a psychiatrist—she's a dreadful actress. David puts up with the leading man who is a compulsive eater, the grand dame who wants her part jazzed up, and Olive's interfering hitman/bodyguard—but, eventually he must decide whether art or life is more important.
