Woody Allen Director

previously directed A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy

Woody Allen's mockumentary about Leonard Zelig, a man with an chameleon-like ability to blend in wherever he finds himself sees Allen experiment with a proto-Forrest Gump use of existing documentary footage and original material. Features a stand-out performance from Allen, playing as he is, many roles in one. .

Quote: Leonard Zelig

My deepest apology goes to the Trochman family in Detroit. I...I never delivered a baby before in my life, and I... I just thought that ice tongs was the way to do it.
