Bullets Over Broadway is a 1994 film written by Woody Allen and Douglas McGrath and directed by Woody Allen.

David Shayne (John Cusack) is an idealistic young playwright newly arrived on Broadway. In order to gain financing for his play, God of Our Fathers, he agrees to hire Olive Neal (Jennifer Tilly), the actress/girlfriend of a gangster. She is demanding and talentless, but her gangster escort Cheech (Chazz Palminteri) turns out to be a genius, who constantly comes up with excellent ideas for revising the play. As the players prepare for opening night, Shayne is soon in over his head claiming Cheech's rewrites as his own, cheating on his partner Ellen (Mary-Louise Parker) with the show's seductive, alcoholic leading lady (Dianne Wiest), and facing his leading man, a compulsive eater (Jim Broadbent), beginning an affair with Olive.

The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Allen and co-writer Douglas McGrath for original screenplay, Allen for director and Tilly and Palminteri for Supporting Actress and Actor respectively. Wiest won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.
