Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Take the Money and Run is a 1969 Mockumentary comedy co-written by Woody Allen and Mickey Rose, which marked Allen's full-fledged directorial debut.note Allen had directed What's Up, Tiger Lily?, a Gag Dub of a Japanese spy flick, in 1966.The film chronicles the life of Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain Protagonist Virgil Starkwell (Allen) and his wife Louise (Janet Margolin). Through exclusive interviews with his family, friends and teachers, we learn more about Virgil’s past, upbringing, and his love of crime and the cello.Take the Money and Run was a monumental turning point in the shaping of the mockumentary genre; while earlier mockumentaries attempted to present a fictional story as if it were true, this film went out of its way to parody the style of actual documentaries at the time, even hiring veteran voice actor Jackson Beck to serve as The Comically Serious narrator. Scenes play out with individual gags strung together by a thin story, with plenty of Visual Gags and Inherently Funny Words being used to deliberately rid the movie of any dramatic tension.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film received critical acclaim, cementing Woody Allen’s Auteur License that he has enjoyed for the rest of his career. Allen would revisit the theme of Stupid Crooks in Small Time Crooks. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Several criminal characters are given rap sheets that follow this pattern. At the very beginning, the narrator says that Virgil is wanted for "robbery, attempted murder, and illegal possession of a wart". Later, as Virgil assembles a gang to rob a bank, the narrator reveals what each of them has served time for—one was "bank robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, murder, and getting naked in front of his in-laws"; another was just "dancing with a mailman"; the third was "arson, robbery, assault with intent to kill, and marrying a horse". | |

Appliance Defenestration: Virgil's cello is thrown out a window, presumably by someone fed up with his horrible skill with the instrument. | |
