Bob Hope (Woody Allen's favorite comedian) was still telling jokes and getting laughs in his 80's and one suspects Woody will be doing the same. He always seems to come up with some really funny one-liners, sometimes without much effort.
This is a typical role for him. The now familiar neurotic who is always one stuttering step ahead of his surroundings. There are some fine laughs here and it is all an enjoyable light weight murder-mystery with very little mystery and no on screen murders. Hat's off to he who can pull it off.
The Director/Writer/Star gets some help from two easy on the eyes co-stars and a backdrop of a Ghost-Writer-Reporter and Upper Class English society that are ripe for Woody's barbs. This is a feathery foray for the, might have lost a step but still keeping up, sociological commentary that he does best. But this Superstar is likely to keep pitching until he is on that boat, on that river. But even then, he will offer a bribe.
