An amusing tale of a neurotic film buff who turns to Bogart for advice on being successful with women, with glorious parallels to Casablanca. Allan Felix (Woody Allen) is a fan who revels in the whole process of watching, talking and writing about movies. At this time Allan's life is in turmoil, since his wife Nancy has just walked out and asked for a divorce. Apparently she just doesn't find him funny, interesting or attractive any more -- but don't take it personally! Reeling from the blow Allan turns to the only solid thing in his life, movies, and projects his alter-ego into the form of Humphrey Bogart. As the complete opposite to Allan's nervous, desperate, obsessed character Bogart offers solid advice on dealing with "dames". Luckily Allan has slightly more solid friends in the form of Linda (Diane Keaton) and Dick Christie (Tony Roberts). Linda is similarly neurotic and insecure while Dick lives for his business (he constantly phones the office to report his location). Finding women for Allan to go out with, the task undertaken by Linda and Dick, is made a little difficult by his exacting standards. Anybody is fine as long as they're tall, blond, have big chests and might like him.
