Written and directed by Woody Allen, Bananas (1971) was the film maker's second project in which he performed multiple creative roles. Typical of Allen's early work, Bananas is light-hearted, almost slapstick in nature, and always treads softly (there is no blood, even during assassinations and shootouts). Hilarious throughout, the film focuses on a nebbish character (Woody Allen) who joins a Latin American revolution in a fictional country to prove a point, and to impress his activist girlfriend. The cast is great, including Woody Allen, (his ex-wife) Louise Lasser, Carlos Montalban, sports announcer Howard Cosell and Sylvester Stallone in an early, uncredited role as a thug.
