_Match Point_ was good, but unfortunately it’s the _exact_ same plot as

_Crimes and Misdemeanors._

And I mean _exactly_.

Well I haven’t seen that one so I should be good to go. Any other Woody-less movies to recommend?

Well then you should watch both! Woody has a very small part in that one… it’s mostly Martin Landau, who’s wonderful.

And I did mean to mention another good Woody-less one: _Celebrity_. It’s in black and white, has an all-star cast (Kenneth Branagh plays the “Woody role”) and Woody is nowhere to be found!

Hmm. I sense a “Woody-less” Woody Allen film festival here soon! Thanks for the recommendations. 😃

Hey, he’s only 49 years older than you. No biggie. Your mom could have been in her 40s when you were born, no?

Beats hell out of Tony Randall fathering a baby at 75. Hell, I didn’t even think they guy was _straight…_  
[/QUOTE]

38, actually. It was Dad’s second marriage and he thought he was infertile.

I know, my gaydar just gave up about Tony Randall.
