Allen Stallone

So one thing that arived in the house over Christmas was a boxed set of early Woody Allen movies.  Last night we watched Sleeper as a family before oldest went back to University.  Good fun, and I remembered a fair part of it, but had forgotten the jazzy soundtrack.  At some level (giant chicken?) it reminded me of the Goodies in their heyday, which I hadn't expected at all.  How strange.

This morning I watched Bananas - which I'd always preferred, way back when, although it is somewhat more patchy.  There is a reasonably well-known scene between the Allen character and a couple of young hoodlums on the New York subway.  I was amazed to spot a very young Sylvester Stallone as one of the tearaways.
