An excellent movie from superior filmmaker, Woody Allen, is quite similar to his most successful comedy, Annie Hall. He plays a 42 year old man who has rather interesting relationships, which includes one with intellectual Diane Keaton. Many funny moments (but not nearly as funny as "Annie Hall"), the George Gershwin musical score and the abundant plot substance makes "Manhattan" delightful and highly entertaining.
