...Allen Sachsel, a commission attorney, claimed that his supervisor, Evangeline Swift, treated a black female lawyer as second-in-command even though he had seniority in the same civil service grade. Swift swiftly fired him. When Sachsel took the case to court, the EEOC accused him of, among other things, causing a morale problem. Last week a spirit of equal opportunity prevailed and both sides dropped charges. Who won? Well, Sachsel is moving on to another job where, coincidentally of course, his boss is a white male. Though the court ruled that he is owed the 40 hours' leave...
...joke here, as frequently with Woody Allen, is Woody and women. It remains a fairly fertile field of inquiry.

Everything looks terribly fussy and sterile. Play It Again, Sam badly needs the headlong energy and comic chaos that Allen worked into Take the Money and Run and, especially, Bananas, both of which he directed himself. Allen's comedy is at its best when it is loose and utterly crazy, untouched by human hands. ·Jay Cocks
