Early in the game

Film Some more information about Match Point, Woody Allen's UK adventure. Judging by this set report from Emily Mortimer, you can see why actors fall over each other to work with him.
"Filming with one of the great directors was bewildering from the very start. Having met Allen and shaken his hand, she went away convinced she had not got the part. 'But that's what everyone says about meeting him,' she recalls. 'Then I got the call and I was petrified. But it was so thrilling to be around someone who's been making films for so long that they know exactly what they want and how they want their world to look that there's no shilly-shallying. You do one or two takes, he says cut and we're all home by three in the afternoon. Marvellous.' "
