He's definitely a few tiers down from Jimmy Savile and Chris Pilchard.
I wouldn't even put him on the same level as Kevin Spacey. He seems more like the kind of guy you'd find positioning himself to take photos down teenager's blouses than the kind of predator that would go out his way to physically molest them.
That being said, I've always thought he seemed like a bit of a creep. Just not a paedophile.

Except she was never his step daughter, and the rest is allegation
rather than fact. Feel free to prove it.

he was the de facto father figure in their household.
Whether there was a 'legal' relationship there, such as adoption, doesn't make a lot of difference. He was in a parental role in the household and he had sex with her.
Nice to see you defending that behaviour on grounds of a technicality, it's true what they say about /links.

yeah, except that he wasn't
most testimony collected in the police investigation following farrows allegations said that allen hardly had any interaction with her at all until she was almost 18. he had his own apartment and nobody could remember allen saying a single word to her. he made 3 films in two year during that time, so if he was a parental figure he was an absent one. or is that a technicality too?

funny, soon-yi, now 50 and still married to woody, seems an articulate and intelligent woman with her own agency,
who has always been open about the circumstances of her relationship to woody, and has never claimed she was abused by him. She does claim that she was physically abused by farrow, but I guess you know better about what happened to her

not that i give that much of a fuck.
it's just there's not many forums where you can speak your mind about the woodster without a lot of indignant certitudinous incoming fire, so I thought I'd take the chance on b3ta

In that case
is this a safe place for me to admit that I'm not aware of ever having watched one of his films, and that the only thing I vaguely remember of his is that moose sketch?

he has a certain schtick, that if you like you'll like most of flicks but if not you'll wonder what the fuss is about
i liked most of his earlier films, but they get more uneven as time goes by, and him as a romantic lead got less and less credible until he finally gave the on-camera stuff away. play it again sam was almost his stand-up act on film
