Woody Allen Cameo

I am not sure, but I highly suspect that one of the voices of the complaining diner customers is Woody Allen. His face is not shown, but it sounds like him. Does anyone know for sure?

I'm pretty sure that at the very beginning of the movie when the letter falls off of the sign and lands near cecielia, Woody Allen says something like "your going to love this new movie mam." I'll have to watch it again, but I'm pretty sure that was Woody Allen.

No, the manager of the theater says "going to love this new movie.." near the beginning of the film, not Woody. I've read several places that hes one of the customers who complains offscreen in Cecilia's diner. The only voice that sounds remotely like his is the one that yells "waitress please, my hamburger" moments before Cecilia is fired.

I think he might be the customer who, about ten minutes in, says, "Cheque, please". Sounds quite a bit like Woody.
