 Woody Allen: A Short Bibliography of Materials in the UC Berkeley Libraries
Woody Allen's film 'Deconstructing Harry' is his most ambitious work since 'Hannah and Her Sisters.' Its satirical wit and structural complexity allow Allen to present to viewers a fascinating character study of a destructive writer who, unable to deal with the realities of life, retreats into the more controllable fantasy world of his fiction.
Woody Allen has played a moralist in many of his earlier films but when rumors of child molestation and seduction of a stepdaughter of his partner broke out there has been a shift in the characters he portrays and writes about.
Woody Allen's 'Hannah and Her Sisters' largely influenced the latest motion picture release of director, Bart Freundlich: 'The Myth of Fingerprints'.Both films feature several characters with their own individual storylines,however, while Allen uses internal monologues for character development;Freundlich favours facial expression and cinematography.

 Amazon.com: Leader of the Band: The Life of Woody Herman: Books: Gene Lees   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Lees (Cats of Any Color), who calls himself "one of the many souls whose lives were reshaped by Woody Herman," writes affectionately here about his friend and mentor, the great clarinetist, saxophonist, singer and band leader who was a major figure in the jazz world from the 1930s to his death in 1987.
A clarinet prodigy, Herman launched his career in music early, rose to prominence in the swing era, investigated the bop revolution, and kept going long after his style of performance was diagnosed as being in decline.
Maybe the reason Woody is overlooked a bit historically is because, although he was a gifted musician and leader, he wasn't an arranger and writer in the Fletcher Henderson, Gil Evans, Thad Jones, Duke and Billy Strayhorn tradition.
