Woody Allen: A Retrospective

About this book

Woody Allen is one of the major talents of modern cinema. From slapstick films to romantic comedies to introspective character studies and crime thrillers Allens output has always been prodigious; with nearly 50 movies to his credit hes made more or less a film a year since the early 1970s. With that quantity has come almost uninterrupted quality including contemporary classics such as Annie Hall Manhattan Hannah and Her Sisters and Midnight in Paris as well as three Academy Awards and 24 nominations. Author Tom Shone traces Allens entire professional life as an entertainer and director weaving in archival and original interviews and accompanying this new critical monograph with more than 250 behind-the-scenes stills photographs posters and ephemera.
