“Horror need not always be a long-fanged gentleman in evening clothes or a dismembered corpse or a doctor who keeps a brain in his gold fish bowl. It may be a warm sunny day, the innocence of girlhood and hints of unexplored sexuality that combine to produce a euphoria so intense it becomes transporting, a state beyond life or death. Such horror is unspeakable not because it is gruesome but because it remains outside the realm of things that can be easily defined or explained in conventional ways.” WayNeedsMayLongStatesBrainProduceHorrorClothesGoldDoctorsRemainsFishesWarmSexualityIntenseDefinedEveningInnocenceGentlemanRealmsConventionalBowlsCorpsesHintsDoctor WhoSunnyUnspeakableEuphoriaLife Or DeathGirlhoodUnexploredSunny DayConventional WaysFish Bowls Author:Vincent Canby
“In this land of unlimited opportunity, a place where, to paraphrase Woody Allen, any man or woman can realize greatness as a patient or as a doctor, we have only one commercial American filmmaker who consistently speaks with his own voice. That is Woody Allen, gag writer, musician, humorist, philosopher, playwright, stand-up comic, film star, film writer and film director.” MenFilmOpportunitySpeakStarsVoiceRealizingLandGreatnessDirectorsMusicianDoctorsPatientPhilosopherComicFilmmakerConsistentlyUnlimitedPlaywrightWoodyHumoristsGagsFilm DirectorsParaphraseFilm Stars Author:Vincent Canby
