Play Information technology Again, Sam is a 1972 American one-act picture show written by and starring Woody Allen, based on his 1969 Broadway play of the aforementioned proper name. The film was directed past Herbert Ross, instead of Allen, who usually directs his own written work.
The film is nearly a recently divorced picture show critic, Allan Felix, who is urged to begin dating again by his all-time friend and his best friend's wife. Allan identifies with the 1942 flick Casablanca and the character Rick Blaine as played past Humphrey Bogart. The film is liberally sprinkled with clips from the picture and ghost-similar appearances of Bogart (Jerry Lacy) giving advice on how to treat women.
Plot [edit]
Gear up in San Francisco, Play It Once more, Sam begins with the endmost scenes of Casablanca, with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. The main character, Allan Felix, is seen watching the film in a cinema, mouth agape. He leaves the cinema regretting that he will never be like Rick.
Apart from apparitions of Bogart, Allan also has frequent flashbacks of conversations with his ex-wife, Nancy, who constantly ridiculed his sexual inadequacy. Allan has just been through a messy divorce. His best friend, Dick Christie, and Dick's married woman, Linda, endeavour to convince him to leave with women again, setting him up on a series of blind dates, all of which turn out badly. Throughout the film, he is seen receiving dating advice from the ghost of Bogart, who is visible and audible only to Allan. Allan's ex-married woman Nancy besides makes fantasy appearances, as he imagines conversations with her about the breakdown of their marriage. On 1 occasion, the fantasy seems to run out of control, with both Bogart and Nancy appearing.
When it comes to women, he attempts to become sexy and sophisticated, in particular he tries to be like his idol, Bogart, just to terminate up ruining his chances by beingness too impuissant. Eventually, he develops feelings for Linda, effectually whom he feels relatively at ease and does not experience the need to put on the mask. At the point where he finally makes his move on Linda (aided by comments from Bogart), a vision of his ex-wife appears and shoots Bogart, leaving him without advice. He then makes an awkward motility. Linda runs off just returns, realizing that Allan loves her. The song "Equally Fourth dimension Goes Past" and flashes from Casablanca accompany their kiss.
However, their relationship is doomed, just as it was for Rick and Ilsa in Casablanca. Dick returns early from Cleveland and confides to Allan that he thinks Linda is having an thing, not realizing that her affair is with Allan. Dick expresses to Allan his love for Linda.
The ending is an allusion to Casablanca's famous ending. Dick is catching a flying to Cleveland, Linda is afterwards him, and Allan is chasing Linda. The fog, the aircraft engine start-ups, the trenchcoats, and the dialogue are all reminiscent of the film, as Allan nobly explains to Linda why she has to become with her husband, rather than stay behind with him.
Allan quotes a closing line from Casablanca, maxim, "If that plane leaves the ground and you're non on it, you lot'll regret it; possibly non today, mayhap not tomorrow, but soon, and for the balance of your life." "That is cute", Linda says, causing Allan to admit, "Information technology's from Casablanca. ... I've waited my whole life to say it!" His journey is complete. Bogart praises him, maxim that since he has learned how to be himself now, he doesn't need him for advice anymore. The music from the scene in Casablanca resumes the theme "As Fourth dimension Goes By", and the film ends.
