Woody Allen will pass on the in-flight movie, thank you very much.

A New York judge ruled Thursday that Allen's former producer and longtime friend, Jean Doumanian, had the right to edit six of his films for television and in-flight versions under the terms of a legal settlement the two arrived at several years ago. 　

The Annie Hall director sued Doumanian, her partner Jacqui Safra and their production company Sweetland Films in 2001 for cheating him out of about $12 million in gross profits from the eight films he had made since 1993. A nine-day trial ensued in '02 and then the parties settled. 　　　　

Financial terms of the deal, if any, were not released, but it was made public Thursday that the judge in the case said that if Allen had concerns over Doumanian's edit jobs from then on, he could refer the matter to Manhattan's state Supreme Court.

Allen took Doumanian to court this time around because he objected to some of the edits she had made to Bullets Over Broadway, Mighty Aphrodite, Everyone Says I Love You, Deconstructing Harry, Celebrity and Sweet and Lowdown. He was particularly unhappy with her decision to replace certain words instead of just bleeping them out. 　　　　

Deconstructing Harry is rather smutty. 　　　　

But state Supreme Court Justice Bernard Fried agreed with Doumanian, who argued that TV networks didn't really go for the bleep approach and instead preferred a word substitution. 　　　　

Allen's lawyer, Michael Zweig, told the Associated Press that his client hadn't decided yet whether to appeal. 　　　　

"We now respectfully disagree with Judge Fried's decision and believe that, in any case, any future effort by the producers to modify the films will not, in the long run, prove attractive or commercially viable," he said. 　　　　

Sort of like most of Allen's recent films.
