Advantages: Very funny

Disadvantages: Not the best movie of Wodie Allen

"Take the money and run" was one of the first movies of Woody Allen. It was produced in 1969 and was following the script of Woody, who had written it the year before. This was the first movie where Woody would write, direct and even act!

Virgil is the main character (played by Woody Allen), he is a criminal who entered a life of crime very early, and has now ended up in jail.
The style of the movie is documentary, and, again, this was the first time that Woody would take this style, which he later used in other movies.

One interesting thing about this movie is that part of the scenes in prison, where actually shot in a real prison, the San Quentin State Prison and some of the prisoners actually acted in the movie!

The plot is very simple, in the end Virgil will escape from prison, but his doomed to failure. I will not give away the end.

You laugh and at the same time, at least myself, I felt sorry for poor Virgil.

There are many gags, and surely this is not yet a movie on the level of the later films of Woody Allen, but it is very funny! The final scene is also very funny, I will not give away too much, but really, this is a movie where you cannot but love Woody Allen.

Summary: Surely enjoyable
