yes, thank you. it didn’t look right but I wasn’t too focused as the mail just came.

I liked _Crimes and Misdemeanors_, but _Mighty Aphrodite_ was the last of his that I’ve seen. I thought both films were marred by unnecessary scatology.

I enjoyed the real-world view of justice and the lack of it as well as the way men will rationalize their own worst behaviour in Crimes (got it right this time) and Misdemeanors.

In the seventies or early eighties I saw a NY Daily News headline taped to the door of a bedroom in a housing project in Harlem. The guy who lived there was a numbers runner who kept getting arrested, not a bad guy, he was trying to make a buck. The headline read...

GAMBINO DIES IN BED.

I bet Allen saw the same headline.

Shakespearean comedy isn’t supposed to be funny.

Wait a minute here. You mean to say that when Moe smashes a pie into Larry's face, thats not supposed to be funny?
