   Yes, indeed, it is not only one of my favorite Woody Allen movies, I   
   read recently that it was one of his favorites too.   
      
   I've always loved the line, when someone says that no one has ever   
   walked out of a movie screen before, that just because it's never   
   happened before is no reason why it couldn't happen now.   
      
   I also thought the Jeff Daniels character, the actor, not the screen   
   character, was very realistic, the way he takes off in the end and goes   
   back to Hollywood. The twists and turns of this movie are very   
   impressive. Having the Mia character enter the movie was brilliant. As   
   is the way the characters start behaving when the movie is stalled.   
      
   I can't think of a better Woody comedy than the Purple Rose of Cairo.
