Play It Again, Sam (Original screenplay for the 1972 film)

  • Hollywood: Paramount Pictures / APJAC Productions, 1972
By Woody Allen (starring, play, screenwriter); Herbert Ross (director); Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts, Jerry Lacy (starring)
Hollywood: Paramount Pictures / APJAC Productions, 1972. Revised Shooting script for the 1972 film.

Based on Woody Allen's 1969 play. The predecessor of many films Allen would write and direct throughout the 1970s, in terms of shooting style, timing, romantic themes, and the actors involved. Allen had already directed two films at this point ("Take the Money and Run" in 1969 and "Bananas" in 1971), but "Play It Again, Sam" is significant in that it predicted the more substantive romantic comedies that would gain him broader acclaim.
