Review:
...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)
