Throwback Thursday: Annie Hall Turns 40

Annie Hall was released in April 1977 and seems to be a favorite Woody Allen film for many. I’m not a huge Allen fan and find most of his films annoying, but I enjoyed this funny, awkward, witty, and utterly charming romantic comedy.

The film spans the rise and fall of the relationship between Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) and Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). The film is full of the usual onslaught of Allenesque conversations and observations, but it’s the 70s and there are iconic New York film locations and high fashion to be noticed.

In 1978 the film won four of the five Academy Awards it was nominated for, including: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.
