It isn't the first time death has figured in an Allen movie, but the way he grapples with it here (leaving each character at a moment of irresolution comparable to staring down the man with the scythe) is much more potent and direct.

Minor but still quite enjoyable. And like other minor Woody Allen pictures it becomes more interesting when placed in their larger context.

Boxoffice Magazine
Bottom line: It's a good one, fresh, funny and vintage Woody.

Much of the writing is good, and the acting is superb, but the constant wrangling wore me out at times.

The best scenes are hilarious sessions between the great Gemma Jones and the wonderful Pauline Collins as a charlatan fortune-teller.
