I'd always heard that the French had some odd obsessions with Jerry Lewis and Woody Allen (but not as a couple, I don't believe). Being in Paris for even a short time, the Woody side of that equation quickly became inarguable. In the Etats Unis (US) these days, Woody isn't terribly visible on a day-to-day basis, but in Paris, he's the king of the town (roi de ville). There's a movie of his (
Cassandra's Dream), a play, magazine covers with his mug, and numerous best-selling books lining the front shelves of bookstores with huge 64-point type on their covers proclaiming
WOODY. Oy.
