70's Month - Day:6 Manhattan



It's 2019 and that means that today's movie turns 40 this April. Despite what your opinions on Woody Allen as a person are, it's hard to deny that Woody Allen the filmmaker has made some great movies over the years. One of his best known films, and my personal favorite, is 1979's Manhattan.  

This is going to be a pretty short overview because I don't really have any nitpicks with the film. It's comedy about a twice-divorced, 40+yr old writer (played by Allen) who is dating a 17yr old girl but ends up falling for his best friend's mistress. The film is full of sharp, witty, dialogue and unforgettable moments. It's well cast, well paced, beautifully shot, and has a great musical score. Overall, a great movie and one that gets a big recommend from me.
5 out of 5
