DVD Description
A Woody Allen comedy with Woody Allen, Angelica Huston, Alan Alda and Diane Keaton. Annie Hall (Diane Keaton) suspects her neighbour has killed someone.

Amazon.com
Woody Allen was going through his off-screen scandal with Mia Farrow when Manhattan Murder Mystery was produced, so Diane Keaton was brought in to fill the role intended for Farrow. The reunion of Keaton and Allen only improves this already enjoyable Allen comedy, since they're so comfortable with each other's neuroses that they're delightfully convincing as a married couple who suspect their neighbour of murdering his wife. Actually, it's Keaton who obsesses about the possible foul play; Woody just wants them to mind their own business. But pretty soon they've recruited their friends (Alan Alda, Anjelica Huston) as amateur sleuths, and the movie turns into a Nancy Drew mystery for sophisticated Manhattanites. With a typical abundance of Woody Allen witticism and some memorable comic suspense, this engaging throwback to vintage Hollywood mysteries is guaranteed to please even the most noncommittal Woody Allen fans, and the Allen-Keaton chemistry is, as always, a genuine pleasure. --Jeff Shannon

My video of it is just about worn out. I have watched this film so many times, I've lost count. First of all the apartment that Woody Allen and Diane Keaton live in fascinates me, it's bizarre. It has the smallest kitchen area known to man yet much of the action and conversation takes place there, which adds to the humour. Then the conversations as always are a sheer pleasure, classic Woody Allen throw-away lines. Then the neighbours they meet and she wants them to have coffee and Woody of course, doesn't want to go. When the neighbour lady dies, the interest really begins and the magic starts. Diane Keaton is convinced it's murder, when in the neighbouring timy kitchen she finds an urn of ashes, but the couple had given each other "matching twin cemetery plots" and she starts to look out for clues. Alan Alda's character is more interested in the pursuit of clues than her husband is, so they're off..... Finally, it really does become a little frightening, before all is revealed in a very clever denouement. It's classic, it's clever, it's Woody. I can't stop watching it.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Woody Allen and Diane Keaton make one of the best on-screen pair ever, they are a genuine couple of neurotics here, they are so hilarious. The live in a NY apartment, he has a very good friend in Anjelica Huston, she has Alan Alda. One night they meet an older couple on the elevator, they live on the same floor. They begin chatting and end up speding the whole night at their place, much to Woody's displeasure, as he planned to watch some classic on tv. Well, the next day the wife dies and Diane, after some strange clues, begins to think the husband might have killed her, and that she might even have faked her own death. Well, don't let me spoil it for you. Basically the 4 of them try to prove it and end up in dangerous, and suspense-ful situations. All the while spitting hilarious one-liners and great music, the jazzy 20s music you usually hear in WA's movies. Especially priceless the sequence when the husband heads for the incenerators on one of the NY bridges with that great music I can never remember what it is, but it is also used in the Bette Midler movie "Big Business", is played. Get it, it's hilarious, I've seen it almost ten times now!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

This relatively light slice of Woody New York farce is, perhaps, not his greatest artistic achievement- that accolade may be more appropriate for the likes of Annie Hall, Manhattan and Stardust Memories. That said I have always found it one of his most enjoyable films; the pairing of Allen and Keaton after so many years is a joy to watch, the chemistry between them as potent as in the mid-70's. Indeed, one can be thankful the role was not instead taken by the increasingly dour and dowdy Mia Farrow for whom it was slated (and whose divorce from Allen, along with the scandal that followed Woody's relationship with adopted daughter Soon Yi largely overshadowed the film itself). The plot -recycled from Annie Hall outtakes- revolves around Allen and Keaton's affectionately bickering middle aged couple. On the death of a recently moved-in neighbour, Keaton develops increasingly wild theories that she was murdered by her stamp collecting husband and with a typically reluctant Woody in tow, set out to prove it. As usual, the film is stuffed full of classic one liners, while the hand-held camera style (used to such great effect in Allen's previous effort "Husbands and Wives") and fast-paced direction produce a marvellously tense atmosphere. The supporting turns from Allen regulars Angelica Huston and Alan Alda are also superb. Top this off with a fantastic "hall of mirrors" finale (complete with snippets of Orson Welles' "The Lady from Shanghi") and you have a classic Allen movie. I don't know, maybe it is up there with his best....  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 9 customer reviews...		Most Recent Customer Reviews so, so funny this movie is hilarious, especially the end! If you like the allen/keaton duo, this is a great film :) highly recommend it Published 7 months ago by M. Dubail One of WA's funniest. WA was at the height of his powers when he made that one -- sadly, all his recent films are a disappointment. Published 19 months ago by Dominic Swayne Manhattan murder mystery - a review This is not Woody Allen's most sophisticated film but certainly, in my opinion, his most enjoyable.Both Allen and Keaton have a ball playing bored husband and wife Carol and Larry...

The way it built from very humdrum domestic beginnings into a great crime thriller movie was terrific. Read more Published on 15 April 2005 by annechovy
