Woody Allen cast one of my favorite actors in his movie Stardust Memories. Charlotte Rampling. So the guy is OK in my book. JW

I blow hot and cold on Woody's films but there's one character so beautifully drawn in Crimes and Misdeamors that it moved me to belly laughs because this character was someone right out of my life. It's no secret that Woody Allen is not a fan of public television. He's had an on-going feud with Channel 13 in NYC for years. Well, I worked for public television as Head of the Business Affairs and Legal Department for years and I worked alongside a Production Head who kept trying to pitch his "great" idea for a series to anyone who'd listen: he wanted to film the great thinkers and their lectures. Just one camera with one person each week delivering his "great thinker" lecture straight-on for an hour....that was the whole idea. I went to see Crimes and Misdeamors in the theater and sure enough there's a character in that film who wants to make a public television film about the lectures of a great thinker. I never laughed so much in my life and I have no idea if Woody based this character on the Production Head I worked with but I always suspected he might of.

Since this is a Woody Allen flame thread, I am reminded of the scene in Annie Hall, where the two guys are arguing over the meaning of Marshall McLuhan's work and Woody breaks the fourth wall by bringing Marshall himself into the frame to tell both of them that they have absolutely no clue. Please consider.
