WHEN WILL WOODY ALLEN MAKE HIS SILENT MOVIE?

From the very beginning, Woody Allen's work has evinced an interest in the uses of silent cinema. Without bothering to refresh his memory, just sitting here, Baslow can think of sequences and montages in Take the Money and Run, Bananas, Sleeper, Stardust Memories, Zelig, and Shadows and Fog which indicate that Allen has spent a lot of time studying and thinking about wordless film. Baslow thinks it is high time that Allen undertook the challenge of making an entire film without spoken dialogue.
