Each photo with a mimeograph snipe on the verso crediting photographer Leo Stern and the Sabinson Agency along with a credits blurb. <br/><br/>"Play It Again Sam" was the third play by Woody Allen to be staged on Broadway following "From A to Z" in 1960 and "Don't Drink the Water" in 1966. It was also the first-and last-play in which he would star choosing to permanently invest his persona in his own films.
