Manhattan

Released 1979
Stars Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Michael Murphy, Mariel Hemingway, Meryl Streep, Anne Byrne
Directed by Woody Allen

Bittersweet slice-of-life about a N. Y. C. comedy writer and his cerebral friends; blisteringly accurate and ultimately poignant, a worthy followup to Woody's Annie Hall. Magnificently photographed (in b&w) by Gordon Willis, with splendid use of Gershwin music on the soundtrack.
