I highly recommend this film.Woody meets Hitch If Woody Allen had made "Rear Window", this would have been the result. The formula and structure is strikingly similar: Allen and Keaton star as a couple who have come to something of a stalemate in their marriage. She is adventurous; he, a neurotic (unsurprisingly), is patently not. When she becomes convinced that a neighbour is responsible for the death of his wife ("Who?" asks Woody, "You mean our next-door widower?"), she sets off on a daring Hitchcockian quest to uncover the truth, ending in the solution of a puzzling mystery that brings the two opposites back together.
For wit and brilliance, Woody Allen is on top form. This is laugh-a-minute stuff. Along with Deconstructing Harry, this may well be one of Allen's best films of the '90s.
