Message: <blockquote data-quote="Laurie Marr" data-source="post: 444725" data-attributes="member: 175">Allen directed 6 episodes - 2 from the early years (‘78) and a quartet  of episodes in the ‘dream’ season. The first of these, ‘Winds of Change,’ is beautifully directed, and very different from the identikit direction of the the kind we saw with Katzman. The camera moves…..and in many ingenious ways. This episode is the first and last time, for example, that  we saw Ellie having breakfast on the first floor balcony. And we swoop overhead as the scene opens.There are many other noteworthy examples from what is a strong episode, but his direction of the Oil Baron’s Ball’ manages to weave in and out of conversations in such an elegant way. I’m looking forward to rewatching the other 3 episodes he directed that Season.</blockquote>
