(“I’m still a star!” she bellows. “I never play frumps or virgins!”) We recognize the type, sight unseen. Helen is not, after all, the first great actress to masquerade as a sequins-dripping star.

Bullets Over Broadway is the best out of the two Woody Allen films with the word broadway in the title, but it still isn't anything special.
