Bananas (1971) Bananas

Bananas ★★★ 1971 (PG-13) Intermittently hilarious pre-"Annie Hall" Allen fare is full of the director's signature angstridden philosophical comedy. A frustrated product tester from New York runs off to South America, where he volunteers his support to the revolutionary force of a shaky Latin-American dictatorship and winds up the leader. Don't miss an early appearance by Stallone. Witty score contributes much. 82m/C VHS, DVD, Wide.
