Staff Pick: "Woody Allen: A Documentary." For anyone who missed its run on PBS, it's a chance to peer inside the makings of his artistic and commercial success across more than four decades. Particularly interesting is the way he was marketed in the 60's to bring him to the masses: walk-ons all over TV-land, including song-and-dance stuff... definitely not his forte.
