Danny Rose (Woody Allen), a hopeless New York talent agent, is a tireless workhorse for his eccentric, unimpressive acts. When Rose signs has-been lounge singer Lou Canova (Nick Apollo Forte), he knows he has to go to great lengths to keep his new client, which means escorting Canova's mistress, Tina (Mia Farrow), to the singer's shows. The only problem is that her ex-boyfriend is a jealous gangster who thinks Rose is her new man and wants revenge.

Critics Consensus

Woody Allen's hard-working, uphill-climbing Broadway talent agent is rendered memorably with equal parts absurdity and affection.

Woody Allen attends to his neglected lovability factor in this tiny, anecdotal comedy.

Allen's perfect as a small-time, good-hearted Broadway talent agent, giving his all for a roster of hopeless clients.

An irresistible bauble that showcases perhaps the best of the 13 performances Mia Farrow delivered in a Woody Allen production.

The film has some great laughs, but don't expect a side-splitting Woody Allen masterpiece.

Of all the Woody Allen films I've seen, this is the one that I go back to on more occasions than the others. It's amusing, funny, poignant, and engaging. Danny Rose, a talent agent with a stable full of the lowest level performers in the business, is also a kind-hearted, gentle and caring manager for his group of misfits. I love the scenes in the Carnegie Deli, and the stories told about Danny and the misfortunes that fill his life.

Good, not great. Any single episode of Curb is an order of magnitude better. Bummed the photography in this B&W film wasn't more impressive.
