Once it started, all I heard was:
"Yellow wheat...red wheat...wheat with feathers...Cream of Wheat"
"Soon we will be covered by wheat"
"Did you say...wheat?"
"Wheat"
Fittingly pretentious ending to a movie that would have made Tennessee Williams roll his eyes and say, "Lighten up Francis."
You sound like a vulgarian.

Can't believe how these actors were able to say these lines with a straight face. It's an entertaining movie but Allen is far better at making fun of intellectual talk (as he does in so many movies) than actually trying to be intellectual himself.
He takes himself way too seriously in this movie and what sounds natural in a swedish movie from the 50's or 60's, just sounds ridicolous and pretentious when he tries to convert it to english speaking cinema.
With that being said I still love his movies.
