Play It Again, Sam (DVD)

Woody Allen's wonderful comedy was his first film with Diane Keaton, a r elationship that would eventually bring them both Oscar ("Annie Hall"). Allen plays Allen, a fanatical movie buff with an outrageous recurring h allucination: Humphrey Bogart offering tips on how to make it with the l adies. His married friends Dick and Linda (Tony Roberts and Diane Keaton ) fix him up with several eligible young ladies, but his self-confidence is so weak that he's a total failure with them all. Eventually, Allen d iscovers that there is one woman he's himself with: Linda, his best frie nd's wife. The final scene is a terrific takeoff on "Casablanca's" class ic ending, complete with roaring plane propellers, heavy fog and Bogart- style trenchcoats.
