To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin.” (from Manhattan) The answer is most definitely yes. Is Woody Allen capable of setting a mood or plot? “He adored New York City. I have nuanced versions of his multiple microcosms of personality clipped and pasted into different actors in movies and time periods that rush to my senses and strip me bear of my own insecurities. I don’t know if I have all the tools to uncover Woody Allen.
