Back To The 70's

[bods1000]

Pards!  It is obvious you and a lot of the other people here have seen more Woody Allen films than me so let me ask you this.  I remember watching one Woody Allen movie which I thought was particularly funny yet I can't remember the title because it was such a long time ago. 

 

In the movie, Woody was playing the part of a loser and there was one scene where he was supposed to rob a bank and he spent a good part of the morning arguing with his wife what he was going to wear that day.  When he got into the bank, there was another group of bank robbers who came in before him and so he was pleading with the other robbers to just come back some other day.  The other scene I recall is where he comes into this establishment one night and just when you thought he was cutting off the glass so he could get in and steal, it turns out he just after the piece of glass that he cut from the window.

 

What movie is this?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, pare....

Woody whines in that scene, something to this effect, "Oh, for crying out loud...Nobody wears plaid in a bank robbery"

 

In that bank scene where Woody's group encounters another group robbing the bank at the same time, he actually asks the bank customers and personnel to take a VOTE as to which group they would like to be robbed!

 

In Woody's first attempt to rob a bank as a neophyte he actually misspells the note he gives to the teller. The dialog goes something like this:

TELLER: What is this, "I have a.... gub?"

WOODY: No, that's "gun."

TELLER: It looks like a "b."

WOODY: No, it's "gun."

Whereupon the teller calls the other bank employees and they begin arguing among themselves about what the note actually says. Woody just says to hell with it and leaves

Hey Bods, how are you? Init ngayon dito, humidity is oppressive. To continue, here are the other 4.

 

Marathon Man - stars Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier, memorable line as Olivier is pulling out Hoffman's tooth, "Is it safe?"

 

The Odessa File - Jon Voight chasing remnants of the alleged Fourth Reich

 

Lipstick - A story about rape and retribution, with the late Margaux Hemingway and her sister Mariel

 

Summer of 42 - Jennifer O'Neal is just beautiful in this film, where a younger falls for her

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

same here, pare...you know when I watch the televised proceedings at the Vatican, I get green with envy because the people there are actually in coats and jackets - which means at this same time, malamig pa din dun sa Europe

pare, nice news from you ha - sana matuloy hehehe

 

I remember Lipstick - atat kaming manuod nito kasi there were some sex scenes in it

[Magaling]

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, pare....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Then I should be looking for a copy of that film.

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN was a runaway favorite movie of mine! It was hilarious in the way Woody Allen portayed the character of "Virgil". The movie was shot in a pseudo-documentary format where Virgil's friends and family were narrating anecdotes about him. Among the highlights added to what bods1000 described:

 

1. In a chain gang prison, Woody Allen was subjected to solitary confinement. It was not totally "solo" as part of the torture was that he would spend 3 days in the chamber with a persistent insurance salesman.

 

2. He tried to run over his cruel lady landlord with a small car inside her house. Yes, inside.

 

3. I remember the scene descired by jetrink: He tried to escape jail by carving a soapbar into the shape of a revolver and coloring the soap with black shoe wax. Unfotunately, it was raining when he walked out with the guard and the gun soon turned into soapy suds and bubbles.

 

4. He once joined a Marching Brass Band-- playing a Cello.

 

5. His parents were interviewed and both wore Groucho Marx glasses and moustaches in order to hide their faces as they were ashamed of their son, Virgil.

 

Regards!

Bro:

 

Add this line to that Pink Panther movie:

 

After asking the InnClerk, if he has a ryume, Clouseau asked:

 

"Des your Dog bite" as he pointed to the mutt sitting on the floor.

"No, he does not"

 

Clouseau pats the dog then gets bitten on the hand.

 

"I thought you said yer Dog des not bite"

"Yes, but that is not my dog!"

 

Hilarious!

 

 

 

Hehehe....

 

"Do you have a ryume?"

"A ryume?"

"Yes, a ryume!"

"Oh! A room!"

 

"Do you have a license for that minkey?"

"What minkey?"

"That minkey!"

"Oh!  This monkey!"

 

"No, Kato, no.  Not now, Kato!"

 

I believe the movie ended with Herbert Lom confined to an insane asylum.  Hehehe

 

Other great Peter Sellers films: A Shot in the Dark (where he also played Clouseau), The Party (Birdy numnum! Birdy numnum!), Where Does it Hurt?... and, of course, the other Pink Panther films.

 

I'm still waiting for HBO Asia to show the film on the life of Peter Sellers, which I believe won a Golden Globe (or was it an Emmy?).

[bods1000]

hehe dami pala tayong fans ng Take the Money and Run - puro kalokohan kasi dito pero done in a real stylish way as only Woody Allen can....

If I may add dun sa Marching band na sinalihan nya playing a cello - he also had a chair with him because you can't play a cello without sitting down - so it was hilarious as he had to lift the chair and carry it now and then because the marching band was moving

nyahahaha!

pards sa mukha pa lang ni Peter Sellers natatawa na 'ko - at least dun sa characterization nya na Closeau...hindi mo malaman kung maaasar ka o maaawa kasi talagang napaka-inept and clumsy to be a detective - he always gets assigned to these hopeless cases by his boss Herbert Lom but somehow he pulls it off...
