US 1983. Warner Bros/Orion. 79m. bw

Spoof documentary charting the comic history of a human chameleon.
Beautifully authentic in its seamless transitions into the 1930s, although it sags in the middle when concentrating on psychoanalysis, interspersed with some characteristic Allen moments, and the subject is certainly a quirky one for such slick treatment.
