That Cow (Andrew Bradford)
Manhattan has a great opening, probably the best of Woody Allen's films. Beautiful black and white images of, well, the island of the title, with intermixed classical and jazz music and Allen speaking the thoughts of an author writing the opening...read the complete Manhattan (1979) review at That Cow (Andrew Bradford)

Woody Allen’s "Manhattan" from 1979 is one of the most romantic and beautiful movies I have ever seen. Not primarily because of the love story between Isaac (Allen) and Tracy (Mariel Hemingway), but because this is Allen’s most personal work. A...read the complete Manhattan (1979) review at DVDBeaver.com (Carsten Czarnecki)

I have always loved this film, but this isn't really a review. I just want to know: Does anybody know who performs the jazz solo piano piece that plays during the DVD main menu? Is it Dick Hyman perhaps? And is that track available anywhere on CD or ...

Woody Allen's Manhattan is a classic piece of American cinema that is often overlooked and forgotten because it was overshadowed by the success of Allen's previous film Annie Hall. Manhattan is a darker examination of life in late 70's New York. The ...

I have always thought 'Manhattan' was one of Woody Allen's best films. Filmed in glorious black and white with many of Woody's staple players and a great performance by young Mariel Hemingway. The DVD has a good transfer, but I noticed that there is a ...

Woody Allen said in an Interview once that 'Manhattan', was never the film he intended to write, the end result turning out infact completely different to the intial vision he had, and that he was actually very surprised at the popularity and accolades ...

Warning:
This is 1979.
Writers use typewriters, and paper, with no digital memory.
Their only electromagnetic device is a Sony cassette recorder replacing the dictaphone of an earlier cinematic era. In fact the cassette deck is so extraordinary a tool at ...

Typically this Allen's movie don't have a plot.
Or is just hard to follow it :)
BUT THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOVIE ABOUT THE CITY.

P.S. Highly recommended for first time NYC' visitors.
P.P.S. The City is the main actor in the movie. And he plays ...
by Ryan Rogers on March 03, 2008
Coming off the success of 1977's Annie Hall and the overlooked 1978's Interiors, Woody Allen was looking for a way to bridge the comedy of the former picture and the seriousness of his latter picture, he came out of the box in 1979 with this, Manhattan, ...

A really decent movie well deserving its reputation. Comes as a real shock after the deeply disappointing Match Point. ...

"You'll think of me as a fond memory."
I recently saw the new 35 mm print of this film released in theaters. Manhattan (1979) is Woody Allen's love letter to New York City, where he was born and has lived all his life. Many critics have identified ...
