[Dixielandjazz] Woody Allen

[Steven Holzer]

This brings to mind a quip attributed to Bobby Hackett. Notorious for 
his unwillingness to say anything bad about anyone, Bobby was reportedly 
challenged to say something good about Adolf Hitler. He came up with, 
"Well, he was tops in his field", or something similar.
