All things Woody Allen – a fansite, news and reviews
It seems every year, the reputation of Crimes And Misdemeanors grows in stature. It was a landmark film for Allen, a rare step into drama at a time when he was best known for his comedies. Now it seems to be the first and best of Allen’s dark dramas. Our video of the week is […]
Our video of the week is a delightful, little seen 90 second film starring Woody Allen. Made in 1983 and shot in New York’s Central Park, it is a simple, no dialogue short. It was conceived and directed by French artist Jean-Michel Folon and called ‘La Recontre‘ (or, The Encounter) – he’s the other actor […]
Woody Allen has contributed to a new campaign with an important cause – fighting homelessness in his beloved New York City. He has teamed with the organisation Common Ground (who are now called Breaking Ground), who create a sustainable housing model for the homeless and gives them new lives. Allen spoke in a new video […]
Woody Allen has been working on a 2016 Amazon series, with many outlets calling it his first work for television (kinda television?). That is mostly true, but Woody Allen did star in a TV series 45 years earlier in 1970. Our videos of the week are all the clips we can find of that show, […]
We go back to 1965 for our video of the week. Recently uploaded, it is the full episode of 60s TV game show ‘Password‘ featuring Woody Allen and Nancy Sinatra, and hosted by Allen Ludden. Allen was out promoting What’s New Pussycat?, which was in theatres at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arh7H1aRwos Allen has a strange connection […]
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. […]

Our irregular video series this week is a newly unearthed interview with Allen around the time of Annie Hall. It seems like he did a lot of interviews around this time, as his fame was exploding. We’re not sure who the interviewer is or the name of the show – anyone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBmtQpDHJeY Even in his […]

One of our favourite scenes in Hannah And Her Sisters is when David (played by Sam Waterston) takes Holly (Dianne Wiest) and April (Carrie Fisher) on an architecture tour of New York City. We’ve been working hard on updating our Locations Map and found that there were a couple of places in this scene we […]
With Scoop out on DVD for the first time in the UK, it got us looking back at the 2006 murder/comedy. Because of its strange release – it was essentially a TV movie in the UK – there was not a blitz of press. So our videos of the week collects together some ‘Scoop‘ era […]
The name of the new film written and directed by Woody Allen due out later this year has a name – and it will be Irrational Man. It is a title that has already been taken – by a famous book by William Barrett. The book’s full title is ‘Irrational Man: A Study In Existential […]
A new compilation of Woody Allen’s 60s stand-up albums is out now in the US. Called The Stand-up Years 1964-1968, it features a number of bonus interviews conducted by Robert Weide in 2011, for his film Woody Allen: A Documentary. Much of that bonus material has appeared online as clips to help promote the new […]
We are wishing Diane Keaton a very happy birthday – she turned 69 on 5th of January. So much of what we love about Woody Allen comes from loving her and her work – and it’s probably true for a lot of people. Their friendship endures to this day. But how did it start? Our […]
Johnny Carson and Woody Allen both loved eachother. Carson helped to make Allen a national star, inviting him regularly and even letting him guest host the Tonight Show. Allen for his part always gave Carson his best stuff. This week’s video is just the two of them having fun. Allen obviously has a prepared story, […]
