- DIRECTOR |
- Woody Allen
The deli where the group of old comics recounts the tale of failed theatrical agent Danny Rose (Woody Allen) is the Carnegie Deli, 854 Seventh Avenue, near West 54th Street, New York.
The New York deli, it claims to serve the best pastrami and corned beef in the world, and they do serve a Broadway Danny Rose sandwich.
Danny signs up his woeful clients at the Brill Building, 1619 Broadway between West 49th and West 50th Streets, New York. For many years the centre of the music business in New York, the Brill was the apartment of JJ Hunsecker (Burt Lancaster) in scabrous satire The Sweet Smell of Success.
Much of Danny’s story was shot in New Jersey, at Englewood, Edgewater (also seen in James Mangold's 1997 drama Cop Land) and Weehawken (seen too in Woody Allen’s Zelig and in The Object of My Affection).
