David Shayne (Cusack) is a straight-arrow playwright who plans to stand firm against compromising his work, but quickly abandons that stance when his producer (Jack Warden) finds a backer to mount his show on Broadway. There's just one catch, however: the backer is a mobster (Joe Viterelli) who sees Shayne's play as a vehicle for his dizzy, talent-free girlfriend, Olive (Jennifer Tilly).Hide

Bullets Over Broadway
The Press Reviews
The movie is very funny and, in the way it follows its logic wherever it leads, surprisingly tough. Full Review
Mr. Allen has drawn on autobiographical specifics in other films, but this may be the one in which he speaks most seriously from the heart. Full Review
One of Allen's best and most revealing comedies, as much a moral meditation as it is dazzling fun. Full Review
No! Don't speak! See it! Full Review
A backstage comedy bolstered by healthy shots of prohibition gangster melodrama and romantic entanglements. Full Review
