Plot Synopsis
The film is set in the 1920s in New York City as up-and-coming young playwright David Shayne (John Cusack) has written a new play. In order to get it produced, though, he accepts funding by gangster Nick Valenti (Joe Viterelli) under the condition that he cast Nick's girlfriend Olive Neal (Jennifer Tilly), a mediocre actress at best. Also part of the play are Nick's bodyguard Cheech (Chazz Palminteri), who takes over much of the play's production and Helen Sinclair (Dianne Wiest), a prima donna with whom David has an affair, cheating on his wife Ellen (Mary-Louise Parker). David becomes embroiled in conflicts with cast and true and must decide what price he truly puts on art. -

Reviews
"Writer-director Woody Allen mounts a lively farce (1994) set in Manhattan in 1928—in a milieu that interfaces prohibition gangsters with Broadway theater—and has a number of amusing things to say about the interactions between art and commerce, both seen here in their crasser forms."—Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Readerhttp://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/bullets-over-broadway/Film?oid=1056629"Bullets Over Broadway, now available on home video, is Woody Allen at his best -- a gem of a Broadway fable with a crafty premise, a raft of brilliant actors at the top of their form and a bouncy, just-for-pleasure attitude."—Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chroniclehttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/1995/05/19/DD64359.DTL
"The movie is very funny and, in the way it follows its logic wherever it leads, surprisingly tough."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Timeshttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19941028/REVIEWS/410280301/1023
