WOODY ALLEN MOVIES
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
In 1977, Woody Allen co-wrote, starred in, and directed the groundbreaking comedy Annie Hall, which remains one of my favorite movies of all time. The next year, he directed, wrote, and did not appear in the 1978 drama Interiors. Both movies starred Diane Keaton (shown here in Interiors) – but like the double feature earlier this week showing the serious and funny sides of Marilyn Monroe (in Bus Stop and Some Like It Hot, in that order), TCM tonight is contrasting the serious and funny sides of Woody Allen. Then the network shows yet another side: Woody Allen as the actor in someone else’s movie, as a young man pretending to have written the screenplays of blacklisted writers during the 1950s, so that they could continue to write and get paid. Interiors is shown at 8 p.m. ET, Annie Hall at 10, and Martin Ritt’s The Front, from 1976, at 11:45 p.m. ET.
