HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Hey! Today is Thanksgiving! So, our "Friday Movie Suggestion Night" is all set. I considered many things. For example, after the meal, everyone tends to sit around your house or apartment and get plastered on wine or beer or some mixed drink, so why not have something entertaining on the TV? Here it is: Woody Allen's very first movie with Diane Keaton that won rave reviews,
"Play It Again, Sam".
Summary: Woody Allen plays "Allen Felix" a film magazine writer whose wife (Susan Anspach) asks for a divorce on the grounds of "insufficient laughter" and boredom. An obsession with the movie "CASABLANCA" leads Allen to imagine that Bogart (Jerry Lacy) has returned as a ghost to help him out with his problem "being cool" and getting dates. Tony Roberts and Diane Keaton play "The Christies", Allen's married friends who keep trying to set him up with dates. This is one movie where you have to catch the opening. If your Turkey Day party is a dead duck, this movie will revive it! Always good to be prepared!! Directed by Herbert Ross (Steel Magnolias, The Sunshine Boys) this is a classic that deals with Woody Allen's two loves Romance and Cinema! The laughs are so closely compressed you'll find yourself barely recovered when another one hits you. So unwind and have some real fun with this one!
My Sincere Best to All of You for Whom I Am Thankful for Your Friendship!

Happy Thanksgiving! :)
Thanks for the recommendation *and* your kind words.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Play It Again Sam is one of my favorite movies. Tonight's viewing in Casa Golf Widow is Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and tomorrow will be my dad's choice (except at noon, the TV will be muted and Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant will be cued up on the stereo).
I like so many woody allen movies but I think Sleeper is the best.
