About this product
Product Information
The enormously entertaining memoir by One of the Great Artists of Our Time - Now a New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller. In this candid and often hilarious memoir, the celebrated director, comedian, writer, and actor offers a comprehensive, personal look at his tumultuous life. Beginning with his Brooklyn childhood and his stint as a writer for the Sid Caesar variety show in the early days of television, working alongside comedy greats, Allen tells of his difficult early days doing standup before he achieved recognition and success. With his unique storytelling pizzazz, he recounts his departure into moviemaking, with such slapstick comedies as Take the Money and Run, and revisits his entire, sixty-year-long, and enormously productive career as a writer and director, from his classics Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Hannah and Her Sisters to his most recent films, including Midnight in Paris. Along the way, he discusses his marriages, his romances and famous friendships, his jazz playing, and his books and plays. We learn about his demons, his mistakes, his successes, and those he loved, worked with, and learned from in equal measure. This is the hugely entertaining, deeply honest, rich and brilliant self-portrait of a celebrated artist who is ranked among the greatest filmmakers of our time.Product Identifiers

Just a shy writer / director telling a story...
Have been a fan of Woody's work for years, from his Films (funny & serious), to his Plays and Short stories. While his later Short story books weren't as good as his earlier ones, this more substantial Autobiography bridges the gap and is Excellent. It links in people only mentioned in passing in the credits of his films and put in context his relationships with Actresses, Partners, Family & Friends. Plenty of background detail, which other biographers weren't privy too. The book gives great insight to the mind and working practices of a shy Writer / Film Director. Who makes films he wants to make, in the hope that the public will appreciate. While it doesn't read like Woody is reading it out / of telling the tale over a pint in a pub, it is captivating and I don't want it to end just yet! For this second Pandemic Christmas I intend to work my way through Woody's film catalogue, which should see me through to late Spring! For a different approach I will start with the last one and work backwards. Am really pleased I invested in those dvd Box Sets. Wishing you a Very "Woody" Christmas!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
