About this movie

Writer-director-actor Woody Allen is in prime form in this celebrated comedy in which he portrays a neurotic, highly insecure and indecisive comedy writer who falls head over heels in love with a naive small-town "girl" (Diane Keaton) who wants to be a singer. The opening rounds of their relationship involve every romantic clich̩ (hilariously re-created by Allen). Keaton's horrified parents snub the city slicker who loves their daughter, but they move in together, anyway. Insecure Allen is so sure he will lose Keaton that he interprets her every move as rejection. As Keaton's self-confidence grows, Allen's progressively fades.

Ratings and reviews

A wonderful delight of emotional comprehension in a different part of existence. The only woody Allen film I've seen but certainly if this had gotten an Emmy, his other films must be of high interest

I don't watch movies by pedophiles who persecute the people who tell the truth about them.

Excellent writing, fantastic acting, and just a funny and touching story. You'll love it.
