Viewing Notes

Since Key of Keys isn’t available this is the next best thing, Woody Allen’s debut film in which he dubs the voices in Key of Keys to make a comedy instead of its original crime thriller. Sometimes this works, sometimes it’s not very good. I like the attempt but some of the humor falls flat. Still worth watching since the original can’t been seen. And both Akiko Wakabayashi and Mie Hama are gorgeous.
