Leonard the Lizard

Possibly the first cinema *mockumentary* combining real and fake newsreels to tell the story of Leonard Zelig, the human chameleon. Woody Allen is superb as Zelig who changes identity and physical form to fulfil his need to fit in with the people around him. Basically a one-joke film but Allen delivers.

Origin of the phrase *Zelig-like* although those who use it probably don't know its origin.
