@@michaelanderson2881 some of mine weren’t much better back in the day. At least back then I had enough hair to comment on. Evidently Allen and Cavett have faired much better.
Annie Hall is a powerful film. The first time I saw it, I was so troubled afterward that I couldn't sleep. I was in a fog that lingered for days. It was like he made a movie of love life. Lots of scenes and lines ring amazingly true. To me, it is the definitive breakup movie.
One of the best interviews I have watched. DC is a master of his art. And what an incredibly witty, charming and entertaining guest Woody Allen is. He is exactly his character in his films in real life.
If you were born after say, 1980 you NEED to see this version of Woody. This was the guy I fell in love with growing up in the Seventies- the Woody Allen of Sleeper, Bananas, that total nebbish with a raunchy side.
I wish they would issue a box set of every movie Woody has made. One of the most prolific writers and directors ever! F*CK the Farrow family. He did NOT "marry his daughter" as the Average American Idiot has it. He married Mia Farrow's adopted daughter. Woody was not the adoptive father.
Yes it taught me that "cool" doesn't always mean macho. I always wished I was as intelligent as these guys. When I grew up I wanted to hang out with guys like this.
I think Midnight in Paris is a PERFECT movie! Every word and every scene is perfect, delightful, funny and touching. I was never a Woody fan per se, but he has made excellent films.
When Take the Money and Run came out my mom took me to see it. I still remember to this day I laughed through the whole thing and thought even then as a 10-year-old, this guy is a genius. And LOVED him in his film Hannah and her Sisters…the conversation scene with his parents-genius. And his obsessive thoughts about the meaning of life was hysterical
I come to understand that in many ways Cavett was generally a more important interviewer than Carson when it came to understanding history and what people were really thinking.
Great to see such a long, relaxed interview format on TV, with a single guest. And wow, I knew that Woody Allen played the clarinet every week with a band in New York, but I didn't know he was so good, even back then. He must be really really good now, decades later.
Love all of these, thank you so much. By the way, on trombone when Woody plays is the legendary Bill Watrous. One of the finest trombonists that ever lived.
This is gold thanks for sharing. Amazing to think of Woody's impact at this time wasn't film-based (he hadn't made Sleeper, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Radio Days....etc). These days movies are all he seems to be known for, and yet in 1971 he was 15+ years into his career!
That is an Albert system clarinet he's playing, an obsolete design with different fingerings than conventional Boehm system horns. I noticed this, because I play clarinet, and the first clarinet I bought as a kid the bastard sold me an Albert clarinet.
Woody is making joke after joke and I'm sure some are canned but this is one great funny mind. Cavett, who is still one of his best friends, give him lots of room and doesn't compete with Allen, just seems to totally enjoy every twisted moment that Allen delivers. "An amusing remark in a moment of gay abandon an she sue me for a million dollars in a moment of enormous abandon" . Alone in the crib? "Not if I could swing it". "Of course I was in the crib until quite an a late age". "My aunt had twins and I thought she was attacked by a Great Dane".
That's why Cavett was legendary,he never tried to outshine his guests. Even with Richard Burton he cracked a joke or two here & there but never went overboard trying to amuse the audience or Richard. It's a very fine line.
It’s important to watch old interviews to see what has been lost and gained, to see what is permitted and what is not. To become aware of the encroaching dystopia.
This is absolutely wild to watch in 2024.The interview is deliciously slow, the dialogue is unpolished and the audience reacts where and how they want. And obviously Dick Cavett is a terrific host. I might be naive and biased, but there *has* to be a market for a format such as this, no?
Richard Alva Cavett (/ˈkævɪt/; born November 19, 1936) is an American television personality and former talk show host. He appeared regularly on nationally broadcast television in the United States from the 1960s through the 2000s. 87 AÑOS. (88)
The creative director is listed as Marshall Brickman, once of Woody Allen's collaborators (Sleeper, Annie Hall, Manhattan and Manhattan Murder Mystery)
I really liked some of Woody Allen's movies from the time I was a child. I remember when I first saw "Take the money and Run" when I was very young in a small movie theater in Manhattan on East 68th street. Like a lot of theaters in New York City, that one is now gone. I liked the movie so much that I sat through it twice. I thought it was hilarious. Then I remember in the early 1990's (I think it was 1992) that Woody's Allen's ex-girlfriend, Mia Farrow, claimed that he had sexually molested their adopted daughter. I was somewhat interested in the case for two reasons. The first reason was because I liked some of the films that Woody Allen had made and the second reason was because my father was a psychiatrist. My father was the type of person that "brought his work home with him". He would incessantly talk about psychiatry and tell me about all kinds of peculiarities in human behavior. I found what he talked about fascinating. The result is that I sometimes find myself observing people that I meet and analyzing their peculiarities. It also makes me interested when I read about people in the news who are accused of behaving oddly. I didn't believe then or now that Wooday Allen molested his adopted daughter. - I don't feel any loyalty to Allen because I liked some of his films. I didn't believe this accusation against him because the story in its' entirety did not seem logical to me. I am not a fan of Woody Allen or Mia Farrow as people. From reading about them, neither one sounds like they have a particularly admirable character, but Allen's story sounded much more plausible. My feelings about the story contained no emotion at all while I noticed that people that seemed to believe Mia Farrow, commonly make highly emotional attacks on Allen although they did not seem to be backed up with much reason. They just said that he was a pedophile and sometimes threw in that he had an affair with Miss Farrow's adopted daughter when she was a teenager and claimed that was evidence to support their beliefs which I thought was no evidence at all. I agree that his behavior with Farrow's adopted daughter was inappropriate but that falls far short of being convincing evidence that he is a pedophile. - The case just never sounded believable to me.
Heywood "Woody" Allen (nacido como Allan Stewart Konigsberg; Nueva York, 30 de noviembre de 1935) es un director de cine, actor y comediante estadounidense. Su prolífica carrera abarca más de seis décadas durante las cuales ha filmado en torno a medio centenar de películas.
At the time of this interview, the only films he'd done were Bananas (what he's promoting), Take the Money and Run, Casino Royale, What's Up, Tiger Lily? and What's New Pussycat.
Says he doesn't smoke, drink, or do drugs. And, 50+ years later, he's going strong. Some people will find that to be just a coincidence. Make of it what you will.
Ha! Cavett saying to Allen "I think I am a little taller than you". Cavett at 5'3" is exactly two inches shorter than Allen, as you can see when they are standing together at the start.
I've been a fan of Woody Allen since I was a child in the 1970s and this is the first time it occurred to me that Woody must be a nickname. I'm not American but still I feel a little stupid.
@@CliveNDerek- He legally changed his name to Heywood Allen at age 17. Apparently "Woody" or "Woodie" was a pretty common nickname for Woodrow, Elwood or Heywood and then became an actual given name. Wikipedia has an entire page given to people nicknamed "Woody".

Funny that they’re discussing literally dying on stage-as a comedian. A couple years later it would happen to the great Dick Shawn. The audience initially thought it was part of the act.

Watching this makes me realize how much more sophisticated people were in 1971.
What was put on television might have been more sophisticated, but people remain the same.
@@Denidrakes69 gotta think about that one!
Woody Allen: one of the great comic geniuses and film makers...ever. Despite his idiosyncrasies (euphemism), you can't discredit his artistic works.
Priceless. Like the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.

Watch him private
Especially if under 13
That is an Albert system clarinet he's playing, an obsolete design with different fingerings than conventional Boehm system horns. I noticed this, because I play clarinet, and the first clarinet I bought as a kid the bastard sold me an Albert clarinet.
Wow. Only one special guest. Instead of guests coming on for 5 minutes, plugging whatever they're plugging and then leaving.
"we locked the doors from the outside". just off the cuff priceless......
And then he told Dick to shut up!🤣🤣
Dick's beige suntan and hair blends in with his beige outfit and set, almost to the extent of camouflage.

Woody Allen's wit great movies, he is my
favorite thinker
Probably ready to start filming,"Play it Again,Sam"--my favorite of his.
It’s important to watch old interviews to see what has been lost and gained, to see what is permitted and what is not. To become aware of the encroaching dystopia.

Allen is a genius!
this is like watching the Adam Friedland show but back in time from the future.
Just noticed Marshall Brickman in the closing credits (creative director) - also co-writer in several Allen films, including Annie Hall and Manhattan.
best episode of the Adam Friedland show yet!

The sex movie he was talking about is Everything You Wanted to Know Abou Sex But Were Afraid to Ask 1972

consuming glucose and lactose? great tip!
