Woody Allen: The Comedy Years

About this course:

Woody Allen’s prolific career as a comedian, writer, and filmmaker has spanned more than six decades. Louise Lasser, Diane Keaton, Mia Farrow, and Dianne Wiest led a long parade of Hollywood stars who clamored to be in his movies. In this course, we show clips to explore his career, beginning with his early years and examine his pioneering comic techniques as a stand-up and filmmaker. We take a look at many of his 45 feature films, from Take the Money And Run (1969) to award-wining Annie Hall (1977) to Bullets Over Broadway (1994). This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
