 Because it took so long to match Woody Allen (qv) to the old  newsreel footage, Allen managed to film and complete  _Midsummer Nights Sex Comedy, A (1982)_ (qv) and  _Broadway Danny Rose (1984)_ (qv), in the time it took to complete  this. He later claimed that there is no mechanical way to age  film, so they would either scrunch the negative up, or stomp on it.
