After many Allen's movies I was really curious about this mystery-twist but as you can read from the title it was a bit disappointing. Let's start with the good things with it though: the comedy here is really well pointed, it reminded me both his classics and some recent like "Bullets over Broadway" and "Smalltime Crooks". It really kept me interested through the first half of the movie thanks also to Allen's usual suspicious relationships between the characters. Anyway the second half was kinda boring, the mystery in this isn't really anything special, I would rather say that it was really bad constructed and clichèd, completely overshadowing the entire movie. It missed balance between laughs and suspense (if we can call that this way...), a chance missed but it contains (as always) some memorable quotes.
