Apr 19, 2024 · They All Laughed feels casually enchanted, with a melancholy undertow that can’t help but be intensified by the true-life tragedy that followed. Ben Gazzara, John Ritter and first-time actor Blaine Novak (who also produced and co-wrote the picture with Bogdanovich) play a trio of private dicks traipsing around Manhattan not-so-quietly keeping ...
They All Laughed: Directed by Peter Bogdanovich. With Audrey Hepburn, Ben Gazzara, Patti Hansen, John Ritter. A madcap private-eye caper about a team of detectives who are following, and are being followed by, a group of beautiful women.

Dec 30, 2019 · A version of this review was published over at Film Inquiry. I recently watched an interview between Peter Bogdanovich and Wes Anderson reminiscing about the film.

However, They All Laughed is a surprisingly good-natured effort and some of the same cadences can be found especially in Charles (John Ritter) and Christy (Coleen Camp) whose conversations mirror those of Howard and Eunice from the earlier picture. Names are swapped with every other sentence while their patter is frantic and harried in a similar ma...
Of course, I must save the best (subjectively speaking) for last – it’s time to talk about Audrey Hepburn, who gets top billing, and understandably so. Though I barely recognized her at first, behind her shades, she still maintains the same congenial elegance, even in eighties attire. If anything, she’s more grounded. Somehow she almost doesn’t bel...
Due to a lack of commercial success (Bogdanovich tried his luck distributing the film himself unsuccessfully) They All Laughed is considered to be one of the ending markers of The New Hollywood Era (along with Heaven’s Gate). No one can completely blame him for his decision as he was stricken with immense grief at the time. Because of course, the a...
For others on the outside looking in, The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, or even What’s Up, Doc might gleam with superior film stock.

5/10. First take and second take, same impression--a sloppy, slim movie. secondtake 17 April 2010. They All Laughed (1981) Peter Bogdanovich had directed two real classics of 1970s American Cinema before this one, The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon. Both are heartfelt, somewhat romanticized, and sensitive movies.
