American Masters: Woody Allen: A Documentary (2011)
Season 25, Episode 7
6/10
Alien Allen?
15 July 2012
Documentaries including interviews with the subject almost always become on the subject's conditions. At least you have that feeling. You become suspicious, sometimes without a cause.

Nobody has anything bad to say about Allen here, except for maybe himself. You watch some rare, or seldom viewed clips, from the beginning of his career as a stand-up comedian. You see clips from the early slapstick movies to Allen's breakthrough, "Annie Hall". His real artistic breakthrough was in "Play it again, Sam", but never mind.

I've seen the short documentary version and in the one which goes on for more than three hours, you perhaps get deeper analysis of Allen's work. Not here really.
