	Jack Zelig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zelig was later released due to his political connections however he was informed by a member that Sirocco and Tricker were planning on murdering him upon his release.
		The assassin, a gunman named Julie Morrell, was lured by Zelig to a Second Avenue nightclub where Morrell was killed, possibly while intoxicated, by the gang leader on December 2.
		It has been suggested that Zelig's murder was an attempt to keep Zelig from testifying against Charles Becker in the Rosenthal murder case involving the Lenox Avenue Gang.

	Zelig (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Zelig is Woody Allen's fictional documentary about the life of Leonard Zelig (Allen), a man so starved for acceptance that he literally transforms himself into whoever he is around.
		Zelig is a highly successful "documentary." It is shot in fl and white by Gordon Willis (who was nominated for an Oscar), which not only suits the time period (Roaring '20s), but also allows Allen to use stock footage from the period.
		Zelig is easily one of his ten best films, coming at the head of a period which would bring -- consecutively -- Broadway Danny Rose, The Purple Rose of Cairo, and Hannah and Her Sisters.

	Zelig Chess
		Zelig Chess is a variant by Stan Druben, of M-Chess (also by Stan) where the possibilities that a piece has of moving vary depending on its current position.
		Should another zelig move onto either rook file, there would be two rooks on the rook files, plus a queen, a bishop, a knight and two monarchs on the queen file.
		Zelig Chess 2 is M-Chess with the restriction that each player may have a maximum of one queen and two rooks on the board simultaneously.

		Zelig is named after a Woody Allen movie about a man who had the strange ability to become the physical and psychological reflection of anyone he met and thus to fit perfectly in any situation.
		Zelig comes with detailed, self-contained documentation that minimizes startup costs for Zelig and R, automates graphics and summaries for all models, and, with only three simple commands required, generally makes the power of R accessible for all users.
		Zelig also works well for teaching, and is designed so that scholars can use the same program with students that they use for their research.

	Zelig (1983)
		Zelig has a strange ability to blend in perfectly with those around him; while among heavy folks, he gains weight, and so forth.
		Early on, Zelig risks becoming a one-joke affair, as it looks like it’ll just be a series of gags in which we watch Leonard transmogrify into different types of people, and it also runs the danger of turning into little more than a parody of various fads from the 1920s.
		Zelig was a very tough picture for me to rate due to the wide variety of intentional flaws it included.

		Zelig is a wonderful little movie that has long been overshadowed by Woody Allen's more famous films from the same period.
		The movie is a faux-documentary about the life of Leonard Zelig, "the Human Chameleon", a man so desperate to conform with others and blend into the crowd that he inadvertently becomes famous for it.
		Zelig is a difficult movie to market, and that is perhaps why it has slipped through the cracks for many years.

	Register of Ecological Models: ZELIG
		ZELIG (Urban, 1990) is an individual tree simulator that simulates the establishment, annual diameter growth, and mortality of each tree on an array of model plots.
		Model states are recorded in a tally of all trees on a plot, with each tree labeled by species, size (diameter), height to base of live crowns, and vigor (based on recent growth history).
		The objective of the ZELIG model is to understand the dynamics of forest growth and canopy characteristics through a simulation model of the dynamics of tree species.

		Zelig is about absurd oddity Leonard Zelig (Woody Allen), who out of a desperate need to conform, can morph himself in attitude and appearance, as well as ethnically and professionally, to blend in with any definable group of people he is closest to.
		Eudora Fletcher (Mia Farrow), seeing Zelig as the cap to her career, believes his malady to be of a psychological nature rather than a somatic one as her male colleagues, i.e.

		Zelig is writing "Secrets", a script based on a series of eight short films about couples and their "in the closet lives".
		The brilliant idea behind this story is that when you combine the eight short films, a feature film is created, in which you'll see how from such diverse stories, each one will interrelate to the other.

	Woody Allen - Zelig
		Everyman Leonard Zelig is literally capable of being any and every man, a human vessel who embodies our sociological urge to conform.
		Zelig's metamorphosis is material; he physically takes on the ethnic characteristics or manifests the weight proportions of those around him, complete with spontaneous facial hair and costume.
		The thinking person's Forrest Gump, Woody Allen's 1983 Zelig is a funny, atmospheric mock-documentary about the collision of one man's manifest neuroses colliding with key moments in 20th-century history.

		No one deigned to call him “Reb” Zelig, nor to prefix to his name the American equivalent—“Mr.” “The old one is barrel with a stave missing,” knowingly declared his neighbours.
		Zelig was not even a member of one of these.
		In the cloakshop where Zelig worked he stood daily, brandishing his heavy iron on the sizzling cloth, hardly ever glancing about him.

		Zelig pretends to be using vintage newsreel clips of the 1920s and 1930s, but they are really well-conceived re-enactments.
		Zelig baffles medical experts at a Manhattan hospital by his ability to transform himself physically into another, but only Dr. Eudora Fletcher (Mia Farrow) seems to want to cure her sick patient.
		But before this theory could be tested, the young Zelig is taken away by his half-sister Ruth (Mary Louise Wilson) and her impresario boyfriend Martin Geist (Sol Lomita).

	Zelig - DVD Movie Central
		Zelig (Allen), in the documentary, was a figure in the 1920s who was once as famous as Charles Lindbergh, but has since faded from the public memory.
		I’ve known people to watch Zelig for the first time not knowing what it was, and who were convinced they were watching a very real, if very strange, documentary.
		Zelig is a supremely comic tour-de-force that masquerades as the documentary of a man, who, “wanting to be liked, he distorted himself beyond all measure”.

		"Zelig" is generally held to be a minor movie in the Woody canon.
		Most of the immediate fun is to be found in the brilliance with which Allen and Gordon Willis fabricate their fake footage of this utterly forgotten celebrity, Leonard Zelig, the man who wanted to be liked by whomever he happened to be with at the time.
		My favorite section of this film is when Zelig becomes the national craze of the moment, to be celebrated and exploited by dolls, games and puzzles, songs like "Leonard the Lizard," and even a Hollywood movie.

		Perhaps the most unique film of his career, Woody Allen's ZELIG not only stands as a technical triumph for a director not often associated with the technological aspect of filmmaking, but also utilizes a documentary aesthetic that Allen has not often used before or since.
		One of the first major mockumentaries produced (it was released a year before THIS IS SPINAL TAP), ZELIG combines voice-over, footage both historical and faux-historical, and staged interviews with famous intellectuals to tell the story of Leonard Zelig (Allen), the "Chameleon Man" of the 1920s and '30s who has since been largely forgotten.
		Zelig creates a media sensation when he is discovered, for he seems to have the unique ability to transform himself to fit in with whomever he finds himself--when encountering Greeks, he becomes Greek; surrounded by fat men, he becomes heftier.

	Zeligs
		The Zelig is the only piece (apart from kings and pawns) used in Zelig Chess, invented by Stan Druben.
		The Zelig's move is not the same throughout the game; the move it could make the next time it moves, is based solely on its file on the board.
		All pieces (not pawns or kings) are replaced with Zeligs, often shown as checkers and their move is exactly that as the file they are on - zeligs on the rook files (either Queen's side, or King's side) could move on their next move as if they were rooks.

		Zelig's exchanges with his psychiatrist are some of the funniest dialogue in the film.
		When she finally manages to get Zelig under hypnosis so that she can find out what the true, non-chameleon person inside really thinks, he launches into a (dreamy, trance-voiced) tirade about her awful cooking.
		Leonard Zelig's relationship to other people, worldly events, "identity" & the "otherness" in society exactly expresses the the points of view of Joseph K, Gregor Samsa, the Hunger Artist & the rest of their bethren.

	Zelig - Movie Review
		Woody Allen is in top form, while taking a substantially different track than his kooky comedy M.O. Zelig is presented as a documentary detailing the life of one Leonard Zelig (Allen), a 1920s cause celebre who has the unique power of automatically changing his appearance to look like those around him.
		Horgan's delivery of information, such as the sole advice Zelig's father gave him on his deathbed ("Save string."), is absolutely perfect, as if we're being treated to Citizen Kane.
		Zelig is absurd and fascinating at the same time.

	Movie Info for Zelig on MSN Movies
		Director Woody Allen appears as Zelig in scenes that purport to be vintage newsreel clips of the 1920s and 1930s, but are actually clever recreations, "aged" and scratched-up Citizen Kane-style by special-effects maestros Joel Hynick, Stuart Robinson and R. Greenberg Associates.
		An appropriately pompous narrator details the life and times of Leonard Zelig, whose overwhelming desire for conformity is manifested in his ability to take on the facial and vocal characteristics of whomever he happens to be around at the moment.
		Mia Farrow plays Dr. Eudora Fletcher, a psychiatrist who tries to "reach" Zelig and ultimately falls in love with him (all of Farrow's scenes are in fl-and-white and allegedly culled from archive footage; Ellen Garrison, whose resemblance to Farrow is uncanny, plays the older Dr. Fletcher in the interview sequences).

		In contrast, ZELIG, a theoretical, ecological model, is capable of modeling a potentially unlimited range of stand types, management strategies and lengths of time.
		ZELIG and other process-based models have wide currency in the scientific community, whereas ORGANON is more commonly used by forest managers.
		We are using ORGANON on private lands with relatively simple stand conditions and shorter rotations, and ZELIG on public land to simulate longer periods of development, complex stand types, and alternative silvicultural systems.

		Zelig is a hilarious mockumentary that involves a man who has no identity of his own, so he morphs into the type of people he is around.
		"Zelig," whose technological advances foreshadow those of 1994's Academy Award favorite "Forrest Gump" by nearly ten years, is easily the better film, and the three years Woody spent making this film seems well worth the effort.
		About a "human chameleon," Leonard Zelig, whose insecure shapeshifting act ranges from pure novelty to affinities with fascism, is as funny as it is sharp.
