Woody tonight

On the occasion of HBO's sneeringly one-sided Woody Allen documentary airing tonight, here's a repost of last April's piece in defense of Allen from the unsubstantiated charges he still faces from his ex nearly three decades on. I'll be very curious to see what evidence of child molestation these documentary filmmakers can come up with that two state investigations at the time could not. One change that needs to be made to the text is that I said the statue of limitations is up on any hypothetical civil case. Not true, according to writer and historian Bob Weide. Dylan Farrow could still choose to pursue a civil case against Woody Allen if she's willing to be questioned about the case by legal authorities and not just her mother's and brother's journalism friends.
