The title says it all

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2001)

Two of Woody Allen's favorite topics makes up the title of the last film of his "screwball" phase. "Love and Death" is basically the assassination plot of "Sleeper," only this one is set during the Napoleonic wars as opposed to the year 2173. The sets and costumes are elaborate but this is still the wisecracking, slapstick Woody Allen from Bananas and Sleeper. The relationship between Woody and Diane Keaton in this movie seems a bit like a precursor to the in-love, out-of-love relationship they forged in Annie Hall two years later. The movie is entertaining and a nice cap to the first period of his long career, although the first half is more quickly paced and funnier than the second.
