One of my favorite films!

This is the only Woody Allen film I have ever seen, and I LOVE IT! It is so hilarious and entertaining throughout. Diane Keaton is truly the star here and in top comedic form! I think her character reminds us all about ourselves in a way. Keaton plays bored housewife Carol Lipton who becomes convinced that her next door neighbor is a murderer. So she sets off on a Nancy Drew-like mystery to find clues and discover the truth. Her antics are soon causing tension in her marriage while she grows closer to a recently divorced friend played by Alan Alda which is all handled in a subtle way. Angelica Huston has a great supporting role as a client and author of Woody Allen's character who also gets involved in the mystery. If you have overlooked this comedic gem, you are missing out! It's rare you will find comedy this superb and with such outstanding performances. 5 stars!

I can watch this over and over!

Diane Keaton is simply amazing in this movie. She plays the hell out of the title character. It was nice to see Alan Alda in a great suporting role. Even Woody Allen himself didn't irritate me. The storyline isn't the most original and the ending get's a bit cheesy but never the less, this movie is way entertaining. Just check out those 80's clothes....that alone is hilarious!

Diane and Woody Together Again

This is one of my favorite Woody Allen films. My family teases me about how many times I've watched it. I own both the tape and the DVD. It doesn't hurt that it stars one of my all-time favorite actors, Diane Keaton, who I believe stepped into this roll that was supposed to be played by Mia Farrow. It's as if the role had been written for Ms. Keaton. She is perfect in every scene. It's a joy to see her and Woody Allen together again as she tries to solve the myserious death of a neighbor and the phobic character Woody plays reluctantly goes along for the ride.The elevator scene in the sleazy hotel is one of the funniest moments.
The character of a recently divorced friend, played by Alan Alda, adds some sexual tension to the plot as he agrees to help Diane Keaton do some detective work. Angelica Houstin and a great suppoting cast make this humorous mystery fun to watch. The New York City scenes add to the atmosphere. Catch Joy Behar of The View as the wife of a friend who helps them with their scheme to catch the bad guy.

An absolute stitch - one of the best Allen comedies ever, with undertones of long-time married couples being perhaps too comfortable (read bored)? A good mystery thrown in to boot. Angelica Houston is as gorgeous as ever.

The couple Keaton -Allen strikes anew!

This is one of my favorite films of the second period of Woody. In this case, Woody focuses the well known differences between a couple, but concentrated about the shadow of a doubt. Was or not a murder the death of the beloved wife of their neighbor?

She likes Wagner, he dislikes him; she really likes to meet her new neighbors, he does not; she suspects about the weird behavior of the widow, he thinks there is nothing to worry about him. But in the meantime, there will be a series of vignettes loaded with fine irony and clever cynicism that encircle a nice and outstanding picture. There 's a deserved tribute to Double indemnity.

Keaton and Alda are specially refulgent in this original proposal of the untiring mind o this singular filmmaker who has filmed about his beloved city with much more fervor than any other else, becoming his flag and helmet; NYC.
