Movie review - "Take the Money and Run" (1969) **1/2

 Some funny lines. Janet Margolin is lovely. It's too much just on Woody. He would later realise his strengths at exploring character relationships. For instance, Louise Lasser has a brief scene as the fan of Allen's character... that would've been great for a whole subplot.

The ambling joke-joke-joke structure did get wearying after a while even though the film did hit on the tropes of the criminal genre (parents, wife, capture, escape from prison) it doesn't tell a story.

But for a first effort not bad.
