For Gae Buckley, “I’m Your Woman” provided a full-circle moment. Inspired by Michael Mann’s “Thief” (1981), the Amazon film flips the script on the classic crime drama by focusing instead on the usual Long-Suffering Wife.
“There’s this scene in [‘Thief’] where [James Caan] gives Tuesday Weld and the baby a chunk of money and says, ‘You gotta go!’ So [director] Julia Hart saw that and thought, ‘What’s her story? Let’s follow her,’” Buckley explains during Gold Derby’s Meet the Experts: Film Production Design panel (watch above). “’Thief’ had been production designed by my mentor Mel Bourne. I worked with him in the early ’90s, so for me it was a little bit of an homage to Mel, and for Julia, it was a little bit of an homage to Michael Mann.”
Set in the 1970s, “I’m Your Woman” stars Rachel Brosnahan, who also produced the movie, as Jean,...

By Raymond Benson
Woody’s Allen’s first dramatic feature film, Interiors, released in 1978 on the heels of his hugely successful and Oscar-winning masterpiece, Annie Hall, was met with praise by some and head-scratching by others. Most critics, however, acknowledged that the picture was a step the artist needed to take in his evolution as a filmmaker.
Prior to Annie Hall, Allen’s films were zany comedies—the “early funny ones,” as facetiously described in a later work, Stardust Memories. Beginning with Annie, Allen made a quantum leap forward in originality, confidence, and stylistic maturity. He reinvented the romantic comedy. In many ways, Annie Hall is a movie with a European sensibility. It could be argued that Allen’s body of work post-Annie resembles the kind of material made by a director like, say, Francois Truffaut—small, well-written, intimate gems about people,...
