In this absurdly hilarious film, Woody Allen plays Murray, a bookseller-turned-pimp to middle-aged florist Fioravante, played by John Turturro. With Murray’s bookshop facing closure, the pair decide to try the world’s oldest profession, offering Fioravante to New York’s wealthy older women for a fee. With clients such as Sharon Stone’s Dr Parker and Sofía Vergara’s Selima, it all seems so simple – until Fioravante finds love getting in the way. With assured direction from Turturro, this wry and oddly touching New York comedy matches the best of Allen’s own work.
