“A big bonus--particularly helpful to film students--are the entries on major themes in Woody Allen's works (death, Holocaust, little-man humor, magic, etc.). [T]his is an excellent reference work that is enjoyable to read--not just randomly but from beginning to end. All general, academic, and technical film collections.”–
“Most academic libraries and large public libraries will find this a useful addition to their collections.”–
Review
"Woody Allen has clearly joined the top circle of American humorists--Franklin, Twain, and Thurber. Woody, from Antz to Zelig charts in precise and meticulous detail the reasons for his exalted position. Schwartz analyzes movies, books, and standup comic routines in scrupulous detail. Sources, influences, and background data receive extensive discussion....[T]he spectrum of Allen's major work in multimedia receives exhaustive celebration. This is a major resource for the study of modern American humor." - Hamlin Hill author of Mark Twain, God's Fool Coauthor with Walter Blair of America's Humor: From Poor Richard to Doonesbury
