  • Woody Allen – The Woody Allen Special (1969)

    Woody Allen1961-1970ComedyTVUSA

    Here’s an edited synopsis from the website TV Party:
    Quote:
    Promoted by Woody as “an hour of horny comedy,” the show was refreshingly adult by the standards of 1969 network TV.

  • Vera Chytilová – Faunovo velmi pozdní odpoledne AKA The Very Late Afternoon of a Faun (1983)

    1981-1990ArthouseComedyCzech RepublicVera Chytilová

    Quote:
    The strains of Debussy’s “Afternoon of a Faun” waft through this amusing comedy about an aging lecher’s ever-optimistic pursuit of the fair sex, for fair sex, or better. The “faun” wakes up to a new day of happy hunting because the proof of the pudding is irrelevant, it is the joy of finding the ingredients that matters. Whether out on the streets or at his job in an office, he does not relent in his hopeful approaches to mainly young women, who mainly ignore him. No one is more aware of his skirt-chasing than an older companion in the same office who has loved him from the beginning. And the big question is, will the late-blooming Don Juan come to his senses?Read More »
