Hello Victor,

I agree Woody Allen is often overlooked as a great director, but I can understand why. He rarely uses the whole medium, relying on his talent as a writer more than anything else.

Most of his scripts read quite well, and have almost a play- like structure- indeed, it wouldn,t be hard to imagine a lot of his films as plays.

I quite like his early work (especially Sleeper), slapstick though they were, but I always enjoy his films and I am rarely disappointed. A great talent. As for his private life- who cares.

Regards,

john
