Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Allen co-wrote 'Arthur's Theme' and 'Don't Cry Out Loud' — the latter his mother's favorite, which he performed at her funeral.
The 1995 documentary predates the 1998 musical and 2006 Hugh Jackman miniseries, making it a primary text before Allen became mainstream-biopic material.
