Colin Firth, Emma Stone Riff On Working With Woody

Emma Stone, at only 25, hadn't been waiting nearly as long — but she notes her family dog IS named Alvy, after a classic Allen character, and she can keep up with Firth in a spontaneous recounting of the bank robbery scene in "Take the Money and Run." The two stars of "Magic in the Moonlight," opening Friday, were both working for the first time with Allen, and they sat down recently to recount what it was like. Firth plays Stanley, a cynical stage magician who seeks to unmask Sophie, a young American medium, as a fraud. [...] Firth points out that magic tricks aren't his strong suit. Both actors said a number of stories they'd heard about Allen turned out to be myths. [...] Firth basically re-enacted the bank robbery scene, with the famous illegible stickup note.
