Summary

Oscar-winning romantic comedy, starring Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. Successful nightclub comedian and comedy writer Alvy Singer lives alone in Manhattan, dividing his time between stage appearances, visits to the movies and sessions with his analyst. Then into his life comes Annie Hall, a beautiful if ditzy woman with a penchant for men's clothes and ambitions to be a singer.

Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

John Marriott

Although Woody Allen had still to acquire great technical strength as a film-maker, this was the movie where he found his own singular voice, a voice that echoes across events with a mixture of exuberance and introspection. Peppered with hilarious, snappy insights into the meaning of life, love, psychiatry, ambition, art and New York, this comic delight also gains considerably from the spirited playing of Diane Keaton as the kooky innocent from the Midwest, and Woody himself as the fumbling New York neurotic. The narrative runs parallel to the real-life relationship between the two leads (Keaton's real name was Hall and she was nicknamed Annie), and the film scooped four Oscars, including best film and screenplay (co-written with Marshall Brickman) for Allen, and best actress for Keaton.
