Allen sues clothing company for use of film image on billboard

Woody Allen finds nothing amusing about an American Apparel billboard depicting him as a bearded Hasidic Jew.

A spokesman for Allen said the Hollywood actor-director plans to be in court in New York today when his $10m (€7.4m) lawsuit against the trendy clothing company is scheduled for jury selection. Barring a last-minute settlement, Allen would be called as the first witness.
