series American Gagsters: Great Comedy Teams
Directed by Woody Allen | 1973
With Woody Allen,Diane Keaton,John Beck,Mary Gregory,Don Keefer
Poor Miles Monroe: unable to make it as a jazz clarinetist, he’s stuck running a Greenwich Village health food store called the Happy Carrot, gets “beaten up by Quakers,” and is cryogenically frozen against his consent. When defrosted, he wakes up into 22nd-century America, which has been taken over by an inept totalitarian regime that a pack of scientists has enlisted him to single-handedly overthrow. With nods to George Orwell and 2001: A Space Odyssey, this hilarious sci-fi spoof inspired Roger Ebert to hail Allen as “the best comic director and actor in America.”
