The Woody Allen Collection, Set 3 Reviews
The Best of Woody?
This is the third release of Woody Allen's pictures and this is a welcome set, focusing on his most developed period. The set includes the wonderful PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO and HANNAH AND HER SISTERS, my favorites as well as the great RADIO DAYS, ZELIG and BROADWAY DANNY ROSE. The only underperformer in the group is A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S SEX COMEDY. All the films have great widescreen transfers and nice soundtracks. It's great to have this stuff available to us!
The heat is on--the last wave of Woody's films arrive on DVD
Well, after the lukewarm and definately standoffish reception of the 2nd Woody Allen Collection (which contained five of his most serious movies), the pressure was apparently on to release the 3rd, and final, remaining set of his films. These are some of Mr. Allen's very finest works, including two of my personal favorites, "Zelig" and "Broadway Danny Rose." ... Most of these films are considered classics and almost all of them are usually sited as Woody Allen at his very best. The only exception may be that of "A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy." His first film with .. Mia Farrow, this was also only his second period film after the 19th-century Russian "Love And Death" ..., but one that was a portent of the many to come ... Woody had always considered making a comedy of manners and so, after a year off following the lackluster ... release of "Stardust Memories," this came out. However, it turned out that this was an even bigger bomb than "Stardust Memories" (one of my favorites, incidentally), and still remains one of his two biggest financial disasters.... The film does have it's merits ..., but, on the whole, it is usually ignored by even some of Woody's most adamant fans. And so, when these finally make it to the shelves, all of Woody's films but "Husbands And Wives" will be available on DVD. ...
