All things Woody Allen – a fansite, news and reviews
Woody Allen’s latest film is starting to take shape. Allen is currently in Paris locking down the details and casting is top of the agenda. Following yesterday’s rumour of Valerie Lemercier leading the film, we now have more cast to add. Variety, an often hateful and divisive publication, had the exclusive, but let’s not give […]
Woody Allen’s 50th film is set to film in Paris later this year. Much of the film has been kept under wraps, but a new rumour today suggests a lead actress has been cast – Cesar Award winner Valerie Lemercier. This was first reported by Showbiz411. Reports are that Allen is currently in Paris prepping […]
Our incredibly random Video Of The Week series continues with an odd video from 1983, featuring ‘Woody Allen’ so to speak. For some reason in 1983, WNBC decided to take to the streets with a comedian dressed like Woody Allen to see if anyone would be fooled by the celebrity sighting. Many people did, and […]
Music Of Woody Allen Films – an irregular feature about the musical compositions that have helped to make Allen’s films sing. Woody Allen is so reliant on American jazz in his films, when he moves away from it, it always feels like a big change. But in the late 80s, Allen was desperate for change, […]
Our latest video essays looks at one of Allen’s least popular films – 1988’s Another Woman. Released in 1988, it was only Allen’s third drama, and one plagued by casting issues, with many scenes being cut. It’s obscure (and sometimes hard to find) – so how well do you know it? Our video looks at […]
5 Films (And A TV Show)… A series where we recommend films referenced, inspired, influenced or generally like a certain Woody Allen film, from his first to his latest. All picks are subjective – let the arguments begin! Another Woman was the first time Allen handed over the lead of a film over to someone […]
Woody Allen loves his sport, and can often been seen on sidelines or talking about it. But there’s not much footage of Allen playing. Which makes this 1967 video so special, and our now totally irregular video of the week. It’s a game of softball between Major League Baseball players and celebrities of the day. […]
News bits! Our twice monthly wrap up of Woody Allen bits from around the web. Rosemary Murphy has passed away. The actress worked on many films from the 1962 classic ‘To Kill A Mockingbird‘ to 2007’s ‘Synecdoche, New York‘. She also worked with Allen three times – September, Don’t Drink the Water and Mighty Aphrodite. […]
Another Woman is another serious drama, only his third drama by this point. He would become a lot better at it, but this film suffers from a truly sleepy, almost boring pace. A lackluster film, with an interesting premise, but ultimately Allen’s least lovely film to this point. Gena Rowland stars as Marion Post. A […]

It’s the first such poll we’ve seen. There’s plenty of lists of greatest Woody Allen films, but to focus on characters is very clever and refreshing. The full […]
