****************************************************** Isn't
that what's called "a strawman argument"? Certainly, there is
an awful lot of broad Woody Allen humor in CRIMES &
MISDEMEANORS, along with a very sordid murder. Even the twist
ending is played for broad smiles if not for laughs. The
cynacism can't be missed. That said, there's a lot more humor
in CRIMES
& MISDEMEANOR than there is in HAMLET, but Polonius'
advice to his son and Hamlet's mad scene can be quite amusing
played by the right actors.
