On this day, January 27, 1984, Woody Allen’s comedy-drama Broadway Danny Rose premiered in theaters. The film stars Woody Allen as Danny Rose, a small-time talent agent in New York City who gets caught up in a comedic misadventure involving his client’s affair with a mobster’s girlfriend, played by Mia Farrow.

Shot in black and white, the film combines humor and heartfelt moments with Woody Allen’s nostalgic ode to the quirky world of show business. Broadway Danny Rose was critically acclaimed and earned two Academy Award nominations, including Best Director for Woody Allen and Best Original Screenplay.

Fun Fact: Nick Apollo Forte, who played Lou Canova, the crooner Danny Rose represents, was not a professional actor but a lounge singer in real life, adding authenticity to his performance.

Trivia Question: What other Woody Allen film, released in 1977, won the Academy Award for Best Picture?
