Perfect Casting, Especially Martin Landau + Jerry Orbach as Brothers


This is one of my favorite Allen movies, though even more ironic than many of his flicks as it deals so much with morality.

Casting Landau and Orbach as brothers was perfect. So often, particularly in Allen movies, siblings don't look at all alike. But Landau and Orbach really look and sound incredibly alike, like they could have come from the same family.

I was distracted by the fact that *none* of the siblings looked alike!

Love Jerry Orbach. I have a friend who knew him personally for years and Jerry was so nice to him.
