"He had no conception of the instrument (cello). He was blowing into it." Pure genius! People have criticized the cinematic shortcomings of this early film, but I think it's one of Allen's funniest.
We spoke to Mr. Torgman, his first and only cello teacher. "Well, there isn't really much tell, because... uh... because his cello playing is just terrible. He would a... He had no idea about tone production. He would just saw it back and forth. Just scratch the instrument, to such a point that it would drive everyone who listening to it absolutely insane. He had no conception of the instrument. He was blowing into it."
2:10 - With both parents working to make ends meet, Virgil becomes closest to his grandfather, a 60-year-old German immigrant who takes the boy to movies and baseball games. Then, tragedy strikes, at a Washington senator's game, Virgil's grandfather is struck in the head by a fowl ball. The blow causes permanent injury to his mind, and he becomes convinced he is Kaiser Wilhelm. Here are some rare photos of him with other patients in the sanitarium grounds.
These early Woody Allen films are almost kids movies, because of the kind of humor. When I was a kid I thought these were the funniest movies ever made.
I must be woodYS PLATONIC solemate...lived on ocean ave between r & s...have not seen this movie since'69....thank you for your channel....woody was very chaplinesque .....brilliant!!
I watch this movie just to hear Jackson Beck's narration. He was also the narrator for a GI Joe A Real American Hero in the 1980s as well as the commercials. He also was The Voice for the Little Caesars Pizza commercials. big big big pizzas for 888 only a Little Caesars.

Ha. I know, I know. I picked a random Woody Allen film as a favorite. But, truthfully, it is a wonderful Bergman-esque film that captures the breakdown of a family in a sharp and observed way. It reminds me of a short story I wrote years ago that covered similar themes. But, yeah, I like Interiors a lot!
4:55 the sound effect they used for the foot stomping the glasses , u can hear it twice, on the time the foot crushed the specs and him walking away. Come on woody !, it was '69, audio production/editing was plenty advanced by then. SMH
Eh, the film still has some laugh out loud moments, but a lot that's dated. I still think Broadway Danny Rose is #1 cause it's great from start to finish. No flaws whatsoever.
In my opinion, his best old film; Many thanks.

who criticised? I loved his early work to death. This, Sleeper. Love and Death, Play It Again Sam.

I'm still laughing at that scene lol.
That actually did happen to my German ggf. He got alzheimer's and only spoke German from then on

When I first watched this movie as a kid, I laughed so hard. Very under-appreciated comedy.

One of the truly funny movies of all time
This is just pure gold! What a brilliant mind! :)
Woody Allen is the greatest, this is one of his best films.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! This is a jewel!
Jackson Beck's, (voice of Bluto on Popeye cartoons), narration is hilarious-
best part of the film.

I always loved this film's opening theme! My first woody allen was bananas which the old man exposed me to when I was roughly ten.
I think think the funniest gag is the cellist in the marching band!
Thanks for posting this ;)
Thanks for the upload! This is one of my favorite comedies - non-stop humor. Jackson Beck's deadpan narration adds to the hilarity.
