' In this illustrated biography, renowned movie critic Tom Shone traces Allen s entire professional life as an entertainer and director, weaving in archival and original interviews, as well as more than 250 curated photographs, movie stills, and posters. From slapstick films to romantic comedies to introspective character studies and crime thrillers, Allen s output has always been prodigious; with nearly 50 movies to his credit, he s made more or less a film a year since the early 1970s.
