Woody Allen: A Travesty of a Mockery of a Sham

$25.99

Woody Allen was once made a knight commander by France, but he didn’t know because the paperwork got lost in the mail.

A decade later, he found out about the award by reading about it in the New York Times.

Across nearly nine eventful decades, Allen’s life has been full of surprises. Writing jokes got him a gig as the youngest writer of Sid Caesar’s television dream team. As a rising comic, he boxed a kangaroo on TV. He made a blank-check deal with a major studio for terms unmatched in Hollywood apart from early titans like Chaplin and Welles. All before Annie Hall.
