To go through the sets of Woody Allen's movies, it would help if one is somewhat familiar with classical (Schubert/Bach); Jazz (Dave Brubeck/Art Tatum/Ben Webster/Benny Goodman/Bill Evans}; The Marx Brother; Federico Fellini; Ingmar Bergman and existentialism. One then would really enjoy a Woody Allen movie.
