Episode 55: ANNIE HALL

This week&#39;s episode takes us to New York City in the mid-Seventies. Woody Allen wrote, directed and starred in this semiautobiographical comedy about a comedian reflecting on his recently defunct romance with a quirky aspiring singer. Allen plays the lead, Alvy Singer, and Diane Keaton gives a career-defining performance in the title role.

Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven&#39;t yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court.

It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It&#39;s just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
