Manhattan

Five Faces of New York in the 1970s. Woody Allen’s most critically acclaimed movie is a love letter to his hometown set to the romantic music of George Gershwin and photographed in glorious black & white Panavision by Gordon Willis. The story details the love life of comedy writer Isaac Davis (Allen), who is torn between sweet, devoted 17-year-old Tracy (Mariel Hemingway) and the neurotic but fascinating Mary (Diane Keaton), the mistress of Isaac’s best friend (Michael Murphy). To complicate matters, Isaac’s ex-wife (Meryl Streep) has written a tell-all memoir of their failed marriage.
