Take the Money and Run

1969, PG, 85 min. Directed by Woody Allen. Starring Woody Allen, Janet Margolin.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Mon., July 15, 2002

Woody Allen's first film as the writer, director, and star tells the story of a hapless bank robber. The movie unfolds documentary-style, a technique later used again in Zelig.
