Annie Hall (1977)
 
© United Artists (1977)
SFC Reviewer's Opinion:
Limited Recommendation
Genre
Comedy / Romance
   
Synopsis

Winner of four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, "Annie Hall" is Woody Allen's center piece. Coming between such early, slapstick farces as "Sleeper" and "Love and Death", and darker, more reflective comedies like "Manhattan" and "Hannah and Her Sisters," this semi-autobiographical film put Woody in the league with the most famous directors the USA has. Starring Allen as New York comedian Alvy Singer and Diane Keaton (in a Best Actress Oscar-winning role) as Annie, the film weaves flashbacks, flash forwards, monologues, a parade of classic Allen one-liners, and even animation into a comedy about a witty and wacky on-again, off-again romance.
