Liza Minnelli, John Byner, Aretha Franklin, William F. Buckley are the guests in this TV special, “Woody Allen Looks at 1967.” The opening title sequence is 10 times too long for today’s audience. Allen’s opening monologue as a weird long joke about a hate crime. Aretha Franklin performs a couple of songs, including “Respect,” Liza Minnelli lips syncs “The 59th Street Bridge Song” and “Up Up and Away” on a set that looks like she’s in the clouds, and William F. Buckley provides comedic entertainment.
