BananasTo impress a girl with leftish pretensions, Allen joins government rebels in fictional San Marcos, where he is welcomed with open arms as bait for the opposition. Allen, of course, is a fish out of water, and the joke-a-minute script keeps up the hilarity, managing to gloss over some incoherence in the drama, and Allen's as yet very basic filmmaking skills. One of the early, funny films that a more mature Allen would dismiss later in his career, but nevertheless worth seeing again and again. And the revolution culminates with the declaration that San Marco's official language will be Swedish.
