To move on from Woody Allen, but to keep within the same discussion in a way, I would highly highly highly recommend everyone listen to Jamie Loftus's mini-series The Lolita Pod. It's 10 episodes, and explores Nabakov's novel Lolita and the character of Dolores Haze and how she is interpreted and misinterpreted throughout literature, film, music, and theater.

Thank you for this recommendation, I started listening last night and it is indeed excellent.

As far as controversial people in films go, I tend to avoid those films, partly because I have no desire to watch lovely people, and partly because in most cases I've already seen the film (before I was aware of controversy surrounding a particular person) and don't enjoy re-watching things I've already seen. If it's a new film with a lovely person in it, I'll just not see it.
