Am slightly puzzled that this does not include his first film as director -"Take the Money and Run", which is a side-splitting gem. For this omission I would have deducted half a star - but I can't so 5 stars it has to be and deservedly so ! At the price, it is stunning value for money . Go get it!!
Woody Allen is one of those directors who is forgotten when you mention the greastest directors of the 70's (i.e. Scorsese, De Palma, Lucus. this collection brings together his films from that generation (excluding one or two). The two best films in this collection, and the two bet known for being his best films are Manhatten and Annie hall. Both of these films tred the line between romantic films and comedies. Others to be included are Sleeper, Love and Death, Bananas and Everything you wanted to know about sex.
My one problem with this collection are that all disks are bare-bone. A few extras would have come a treat but apparently Woody doesn't DO extra features!
