A breezy, readable entry to Allen's vast bibliography...with an excellent Introduction and Afterword.--Richard A. Blake America: The National Catholic Weekly
...This book also offers new, tasty, nutritious stuff for Woody loyalists to savor. -- Owen McNally Hartford Courant This is an urbane and readable work and will be of great interest to avid Allen fans... -- Andrea Slonosky Library Journal Even those who have lost who have lost patience with Allen's recent efforts will want to read what he has to say about his 1970s masterworks. -- Gordon Flagg Booklist As usual, Richard Schickel has nailed his subject, and this time his subject is a particularly hard one to nail. -- Jeanine Basinger Witty, surprising, important (but never self-important), and-best of all-moving...a compact but very real treasure...graceful and perceptive...wonderful. -- Steven Bach Clearly, Allen is comfortable talking to Schickel...a brisk read. Chicago Tribune The author pleads a strong case that as a gifted writer and actor of limited range, Woody Allen deserves a more prominent position in the motion picture arts. ForeWord Reviews ...Thoughtful, critical insights into Allen's screen works. Newport News Press ...Fascinating biography of a giant in film... Forecast Schickel is a thoughtful observer and critic, a lively writer... Virginia Quarterly Review Schickel may well be the smartest, most practiced and least axe-grinding interviewer Allen has ever had.
