Movie review - "Sleeper" (1973) ***

 Woody Allen used to put in effort. I'm not a massive fan of this film... maybe I saw it too late in life or something.. but it's imaginative and has some funny moments. It's unusual in Allen's oeuvre in that it involves sci fi and a lot of big prop gags. But it does have his first solid on screen relationship with a woman (played by Diane Keaton)... this was on top of Play It Again Sam of course, which he didn't direct.

Keaton is lovely - gorgeous and lots of fun. The film doesn't fully work for me but I can get why it has fans.
