Woody Allen is enjoying his golden years

Woody Allen pops up as the narrator in his latest film, a tale of Hollywood in the 1930s, writes Helen Barlow

WHETHER it’s his 46th or 47th film Woody Allen, now 80, can’t quite remember. But who’s counting? With his latest feature, Café Society, he has made an unadulterated romance.

“I do a certain amount of romantic movies,” Allen explains. “It comes from my upbringing. I was brought up on Hollywood movies and they had indelible influence on me.”
