Ah, Woody...Where Fore Art Thou?
Seeing this movie back in 1983, I thought it was funny but so minor "Woody" that it barely deserved the attention it got.
Re-seeing it again this past weekend on Cable made me realize how much I miss the really good years of Allen (IMO, 1977-1989, from "Annie Hall" to "Crimes and Misdemeanors").
Zelig isn't a classic but it showcases Allen using his neurosis and his comedy skills in almost perfect unison. The narration is hilarious how he sounds so serious all the while spewing some of the funniest lines ever. What's that line about how some group only give Zelig half his life back? Classic.
