Woody Allen

Some time in the 1970s, Mike Yates took Jo Grant to see the new Woody Allen movie. When she told John Benton her plans, he retorted, "Better you than me" — he was not a fan of Allen's films, and preferred the Carry On line when it came to comedy. Jo agreed — "he's not really that funny, is he?" — and admitted they were only going to see that movie because she'd already seen the other one playing. (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy)
