Peter Bogdanovic
Tutto può accadere a Broadway

This is the latest feature film by Peter Bogdanovich, an excellent director who left us just last year at only 82 years old due to complications from Parkinson's. The original title is "She's Funny That Way", a much more fitting title than the Italian one...

There is the director of a play about a call girl...

There is a call girl who aspires to become an actress...

There is the director's wife (who also acts in the play) who discovers her husband's affairs with several call girls...

There is the director's wife's ex-lover, also inclined to have flings with call girls (and he too acts in the play) but would also like to rekindle his affair with the director's wife, not entirely opposed to the idea...

There is a psychotherapist substituting for her mother (hospitalized in Tuscany for, ahem, alcoholism...) whom the call girl approaches for treatment...

There is the psychotherapist's boyfriend (author of the play), who makes advances to the new actress/call girl...

There is the judge who hires a private investigator (father of the play's author) to follow the call girl he has become erotically infatuated with...

There is an Italian restaurant where amusing things always happen, thanks to the call girl...

There is a boutique where the business gets tangled, again thanks to the call girls...

There is a hotel where all sorts of erotic escapades occur, thanks to the charms of the call girls...

Who else is there? Oh yes, there is the wolfdog (the psychotherapist’s) who runs away at the theater with the little dog of the actor (ex-lover of the director's wife) for a possible erotic adventure...

There's even Quentin Tarantino playing himself, but I'll talk about that a little further down...

Well, the story would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that I was in a contrary mood and didn’t laugh at all (due to momentary disagreements with my beloved), but the story is a true comedy of errors with a long series of entanglements and misunderstandings that are worth enjoying.

Two small half-spoilers that aren't even to be considered real "spoilers":

• The film in the second ending in black and white ends like this: But if she is happier giving squirrels to the nuts, who am I to tell her "nuts to the squirrels"?
• While the first ending finishes with a cameo by Quentin Tarantino disappearing with the talented actress (former call girl) protagonist.

And that's it, or rather no, while writing, the disagreements dissolved into thin air, putting a nice stone on it! (ahem, on the disagreements and not on my beloved ça va sans dire ça va...)
