Allen owes his celebrity status primarily to his critically acclaimed films, such as "Manhattan, Hannah and her Sisters, and Crimes and Misdemeanors." In Woody Allen: A Casebook, editor Kimball King, who is also General Editor of the Casebook Series, has selected major plays and films by Woody Allen and has chosen well-known scholars to examine their complexities in detail. Allen's sophisticated movie musical scores as well as his thoughtful studies of American character and life are analyzed by contemporary critics, such as William Hutchings, Tom Sahy, and King himself. The result is a volume that surveys artistic highpoints of the Allen canon and illustrates the creative impact of Allen's works on audiences and readers. |
