Woody Allen cowrote, directed, and stars in this award-winning film as a kvetchy Brooklyn comedian wistfully recalling his bygone relationship with flighty, adorable, and irrepressibly midwestern (read: not Jewish) Annie Hall. The film marked a transition from Allen's earlier absurdist comedies to a richer vein of thoughtful consideration of relationships. The gentle narrative revolutionized the urban romantic-comedy genre, while Keaton's hip, man-tailored wardrobe set the 1977 fashion standard. The film is filled with memorable scenes and oft-quoted lines and features Allen talking right into the camera, a technique that was not commonplace at the time. Allen, playing comedian Alvy Singer, uses many of his stand-up comedy routines in the film as he woos the wonderful Diane Keaton, playing the title character, Annie Hall. As Alvy helps Annie mature, she grows apart from him, choosing to live in Southern California, which is the antithesis of his deep love for New York. The film features fabulous visual and verbal gags, a propensity for food scenes, and memorable cameos by the likes of Marshall McLuhan, Paul Simon, Christopher Walken, Truman Capote, Shelley Duvall, and others.

Semi-serious collage of jokes and bits of technique, some of the former very funny and some of the latter very successful. For no very good reason it hit the box-office spot and turned its creator, of whom it is very typical, from a minority performer to

More Clever than Thought-provoking
Much of the rapid dialogue/monolgue is more eruditely clever rather than expressly funny but there was never any shortage of material for comment. The character... read more »

Nice work, Woody!
I gave this four stars because at the end of the movie I realised it had kept me enthralled throughout, despite its simple plot. Woody is funny as ever and ... read more »

Woody when he buzzed
To be honest, I can't remember this arriving. I do have it in my collection, though, and watched it on a double bill with Alan's Manhattan.

Movie star Diane Keaton turned rescue dog heroine during an appearance on late night TV in America on Thursday when she tried to find a pooch a home. The Annie Hall star stunned The Tonight Show host Jay Leno when she interrupted his interview and dashed off to pick up the scruffy mutt, called Clover, backstage. Keaton, who is on the board of a shelter in California, asked if any member of Leno's studio audience wanted to take the dog home. She said, "I knew I was gonna go on Jay's show and I... Read more
