Re: Woody Allen - standing ovation on clarinet ??

I am a fan of (most of) Woody Allen's movies, and I find his comedy writing over many, many years absolutely brilliant. I don't admire his clarinet playing, but at least he has the good sense to surround himself with accomplished jazz musicians.

I think his relationship with his step-daughter is reprehensible, but I try not to let that color my enjoyment of his true contributions to our culture. Richard Wagner was no saint, either.

Where I do part company with my admiration for Woody's genius, is a scene in "Wild Man Blues" where he visits the Buffet usine and is allowed to play a vintage metal Albert clarinet in their museum. His crass efforts to buy the instrument reinforce all of the "ugly American" stereotypes that help explain why so many French people are not fond of us. To Buffet's eternal credit, they turned down his insistent overtures!

Happy New Year all!
