About this product

Product Information

MIGHTY APHRODITE is Woody Allen's stab at Greek comedy/tragedy, and it is wildly successful. Allen stars as Lenny Weinrib, a sportswriter married to ambitious Amanda Sloan (Helena Bonham Carter), who desperately wants her own art gallery in New York City and is willing to play the game to get it. Amanda convinces a reluctant Lenny to adopt, and they end up with beautiful Max. Lenny soon becomes obsessed with finding out who Max's biological parents are, and he is not exactly happy when he discovers that the mother is a high-pitched actress wanna-be who is also a minor porn star and hooker (Mira Sorvino, in an Oscar-winning performance). Lenny is determined to turn her life around--but at the same time is forced to examine his own marriage, which is failing.Allen intersperses New York City vignettes with hysterical scenes of a Greek chorus, led by F. Murray Abraham, chiming in about Lenny's life, comparing it to Greek drama, and breaking out into song-and-dance numbers. The scenes in which the two worlds meet--both in New York and in the Greek theater, are wonderfully witty and incisive. This charming light comedy from Woody Allen also features fine cameo appearances by Olympia Dukakis, David Ogden Stiers, Jack Warden, and Tony Sirico.

Mighty triumph for Mira Sorvino.
This is a Greek Tragedy type of film with lots of laughs throughout. Mira Sorvino as dim-witted Linda the prostitute is a million lsughs throughout (she won the academy award for best supporting actress).By the end of the film Linda has Been made so adorable (and human with faults like anyone else) that you just hope she ends up with a better life....which she does. It's a well-done romantic comedy with a great script and go9d acting.

Cool Woody Allen flick that few have heard of
Not Woody Allens best but still really good with some Greek drama thrown in.
