Comedy In a Broadway restaurant a group of comedians exchange old stories about the world of showbiz. As the conversation progresses, they recall Danny Rose, an agent who took on some of the most disastrous artists in the trade and whom on one occasion even risked his life to relaunch the career of an outmoded singer.

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"After a period when Allen seemed stuck in self-doubt and introspection, he loosens up and has a good time (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"One of Mr. Allen's more modest films but also one of his very best."	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"Allen made several other unquestionably wonderful films in this fantastic roll (...) 'Broadway Danny Rose' gets the palm, I think, because of its commitment to humanity, and to love, and to righteousness."	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"A fairy-tale, a glittering New York fable told in a silvery black and white, laden with nostalgia for times and oddities long gone from the hallowed halls of Broadway (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"Allen's perfect as a small-time, good-hearted Broadway talent agent, giving his all for a roster of hopeless clients."	POS
United Kingdom	Geoff Andrew Time Out	"The jokes are firmly embedded in plot and characterisation, and the film (...) looks terrific; but what makes it work so well is the unsentimental warmth pervading every frame."	POS
United States	TV Guide	"A charming comedy (...) that mixes several varieties of the New Yorkers that Allen loves so well (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
