Small Time Crooks: Critical Response
IMDB
“I doubt if many people share this sentiment, but this is my favorite Woody Allen movie simply because it does what Allen usually sets out to do: makes me laugh. I’m not a big fan of Allen’s films but he and Tracey Ullman make a great pair in this 95-minute farce.”
