	Movies - Play It Again, Sam

Play it Again, Sam was a play and 1972 movie written by and starring Woody Allen, originally entitled Aspirins for Three. The film was directed by Herbert Ross.

Summary

The original play and the movie follow the same lines: Allen Felix (played by Allen) has just been through a messy divorce. His two friends, Linda (Diane Keaton) and Dick (Tony Roberts), attempt to convince him to go out with women again. He agrees, and throughout the film, he claims to be receiving dating advice from none other than Humphrey Bogart.

As the film goes on we see that, when it comes to women, Allen puts on a false mask, a facade. He attempts to become sexy and sophisticated, only to end up ruining his chances by being too nervous. Eventually he develops feelings for Linda, who is married to Dick.

The ending is a parody of Casablanca
's famous ending. The fog, the trenchcoats worn and dialogue are reminiscent of the 1940s film.

Trivia
