in memoriam: charles h. joffe


"Annie Hall"
directed by Woody Allen
produced by Charles H. Joffe
1977

The enduring relationship between filmmaker Woody Allen and producer Charles H. Joffe has come to end with the death of Joffe, at 78, due to lung disease. Joffe won an Oscar for "Annie Hall" and has since produced nearly every film Allen has made since. No longer will the titles that have become an Allen trademark in their white lettering and black backdrop, read: "A Jack Rollins and Charles H. Joffe Production." Their last film together, "Vicky Christina Barcelona", will be in theaters this August.
