...You Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask"...

Woody Allen's adaptation of one of those "I'm OK, You're Fucked-up" self-awarness books from the 70's (a book that was so bad it didn't even burn well).

Weilder plays the psychiatrist who's patient tells him he's in love with a sheep...and does the longest (not) double take in the history of film....Allen's brilliant direction leaves the camera on Gene for what feels like an hour...not a word is spoken, not even a blink from Wilder...the smile permanently frozen on his face says volumes about the desperate thoughts clawing for air just beneath the surface...just thinking about it cracks me up.

if this scene doesn't slay you...how about the end of this bit, with Weilder lying in the gutter, a bottle of Woolite clutched in his hand...
