Woody Allen:    I suspect, though I have no evidence whatsoever, that some of the antipathy for Woody Allen is based on his despicable private life.   Not really a good means to judge a movie.    I certainly haven't seen many of his, but I did think both Annie Hall and especially Play It Again Sam were delightful.

Musicals:    I submit that those who themselves do not love to sing may well not like musicals.   And even find the dismissal of all music in them "witty".    Those of us who sing differ on the point of the music in musicals.   Obviously there are good ones and feeble ones.   Very few since the 60's have been worth much.   But quite a few before the 70's. And I also would assert that the anti-musical sentiment shows profound ignorance.    A whole array of wonderful music comes from musicals, including Old Man River, Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man, I Got Rhythm, and Embraceable You--just for starters.

Most musicals and the most music from them has to do, as I said earlier, with romance.   If you dismiss romantic songs (lopsidedly unrequited), you are cutting yourself off from a huge source of great music.   Just as you do if, as a strong atheist, you do not like to hear great choral music (overwhelmingly religious) and gospel music.   Both of which, based on his postings, is true for the person who first denigrated the music in musicals.

Without romantic or religious music, the field of vocal music is absurdly narrow. Not the kind of world I'd like to live in.   Perhaps you would.
