Description: Woody Allen is a uniquely innovative performer, writer and director with nearly fifty movies to his credit, from cult slapstick films and romantic comedies to introspective character studies and crime thrillers. In this timely retrospective, Tom Shone reviews Woody Allen's entire career. His informed commentaries are combined with many classic quotes from Allen that define the directors self-deprecating humor and acute thinking about his life and times. Illustrated with more than 250 images, this is a fitting tribute to one of the masters of modern cinema, published to mark Woody Allen's eightieth birthday.
