While at face value an entertaining mockumentary about an early 20th-century "human chameleon" who psychologically blends into his surrounding environment, Woody Allen's innovative feature is also a witty and provocative consideration of the cult of celebrity. By cleverly melding fictional footage with authentic newsreels and doctored archive photos, Allen presents the bizarre saga of Leonard Zelig, the ultimate conformist, who traveled around the world rubbing shoulders with the great and notorious. "An ingenious stunt" - Pauline Kael.
