This past weekend, I caught up on some latter-day Woody Allen films: Midnight in Paris (2011) and Cafe Society (2016). (Loved the former, absolutely hated the latter.) Aside from my opinion of the films, though, the main thing is that each had a Joan Crawford mention! In "Midnight in Paris," someone mocked the sympathetic Owen Wilson character for being interested in a "nostalgia shop" that might carry "Joan Crawford cut-out dolls." In "Cafe Society," the two main characters take a driving tour of stars' homes, and stop in front of Joan Crawford's place and have a brief conversation about Joan being "larger than life." Another auteur mention that I remember is in Bertolucci's "Last Tango in Paris," when the young film-maker shouts about how beautiful Joan Crawford was.

I have not liked most of Woody Allen's works I've seen, which are admittedly few and far between. I thought Zelig was kind of OK. Maybe because it took place in the 20s and 30s. To be honest, his characters remind me of why I'm glad I moved away from NYC! 😃 |
