Bullets Over Broadway is a 1994 American black comedy crime film directed by Woody Allen, written by Allen and Douglas McGrath, and starring an ensemble cast including John Cusack, Dianne Wiest, Chazz Palminteri and Jennifer Tilly.

The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Allen for Best Director, Allen and McGrath for Best Original Screenplay, Palminteri for Best Supporting Actor, and both Tilly and Wiest for Best Supporting Actress, with the latter winning for her performance, the second time Allen directed her to an Academy Award. Considered one of his best works, Bullets Over Broadway is the most recent film directed by Allen with a shared writing credit.

Woody Allen’s, BULLETS OVER BROADWAY, is a comedy set in the Roaring 20’s, and takes place in the world of gangsters and showgirls. A story full of twists and turns, murder and romance, the film stars Jim Broadbent, John Cusack, Harvey Fierstein, Chazz Palminteri, Mary-Louise Parker, Rob Reiner, Jennifer Tilly, Tracey Ullman, Joe Viterelli, Jack Warden, and Dianne Wiest. Co-written with Doug McGrath and directed by Woody Allen.

The slowly but surely return of Woody Allen in the mid 90s continues with a great ensemble period piece comedy with a strong cast, visual flair, good humor, and smart writing all around.
