Money, the saga of an inept robbing hood, was hip, paranoid and eclectic, and it had the fuzzy continuity of a fever dream-rather like the early Marx Brothers movies, or the last films of W.C. Fields. It also had a fine eye for the human cartoon. Allen, playing the master criminal of his youthful fantasies, stands by while a bank teller tries to decipher his scrawl: "I have a gub." The holdup man insists that the word is "gun"; the teller consults higher authorities, thereby spiking the heist. Even Allen's penmanship, it turns out, is masochistic. Occasionally...

When the Communists finally broke and ran, reported TIME Correspondent Rudolph Rauch, "the South Vietnamese ran off after them, hooting in jubilation-until the Communists turned to fire a few sobering rounds at their pursuers. The troops stopped...
