Beginning with Allen's childhood and his first professional gigs as a teen ? furnishing jokes for comics and publicists ? WOODY ALLEN: A DOCUMENTARY chronicles the trajectory and longevity of Allen's career: from his work in the 1950s-60s as a TV scribe for Sid Caesar, standup comedian and frequent TV talk show guest, to a writer-director averaging one film-per-year for more than 40 years. Director Bob Weide covers Allen's earliest film work in ?Take the Money and Run,? ?Bananas, Sleeper,? and ?Love and Death?; frequent Oscar favorites such as ?Annie Hall,? ?Manhattan,? ?Zelig,? ?Broadway Danny Rose,? ?Purple Rose of Cairo,? ?Crimes and Misdemeanors,? ?Husbands & Wives,? ?Bullets Over Broadway,? and ?Mighty Aphrodite?; and his recent globetrotting phase with ?Match Point,? ?Vicky Christina Barcelona,? and his latest success ?Midnight in Paris.?
