WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Considered to be "Woody Allen's breakthrough movie" (Time Magazine) Annie Hall won four Oscars including Best Picture and established Woody Allen as the premier auteur filmmaker. Thought by many critics to be Allen's magnum opus, Annie Hall confirmed he had "completed the journey from comic to humorist, from comedy writer to wit [and] from inventive moviemaker to creative artist" (Saturday Review).
    Alvy Singer (Allen) is one of Manhattan's most brilliant comedians, but when it comes to romance, his delivery needs a little work. Introduced by his best friend, Rob (Tony Roberts), Alvy falls in love with the ditzy but delightful nightclub singer Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). When his own insecurities sabotage the affair, Annie is forced to leave Alvy for a new life - and lover (Paul Simon) - in Los Angeles. Knowing he may have lost Annie forever, Alvy's willing to go to any lengths - even driving L.A.'s freeways - to recapture the only thing that ever mattered... true love.

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• As of 10/25/2006 this movie is ranked #117 on the imdb.com top 250 movies of all time list.
• Before deciding on calling this film Annie Hall several other titles were thrown around including: It Had To Be Jew, A Roller Coaster Named Desire, and Anhedonia.
• Several big stars are in this film in small roles including: Paul Simon as Tony Lacey, Christopher Walken (who was mistakenly credited as Christopher Wlaken) as Duane Hall, Jeff Goldblum as a party guest, Beverly D'Angelo as an actress in a TV show, Sigourney Weaver as Alvy's date in her non-speaking film debut, and Truman Capote as the guy Alvy wants to know if he is entering a Truman Capote look-alike contest. Danny Aiello and Harvey Fierstein also had small roles but there scene was deleted from the final cut of the film.
• This film was originally written as a murder mystery with the Annie Hall romance as a sub-plot. However when it was decided to focus solely on the romance, the story was saved and then written into it's own film in 1993 by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman, the film was Manhattan Murder Mystery.
• Many scenes were cut from this film which was originally more than 2 hours long. One scene involved a traffic advisory sign which sent a message to Alvy that he should go to California after Annie. Woody Allen said the scene was over the top "cutsey" and was so upset with the footage he reportedly through it into the East River. This idea later became the basis for the film L.A. Story.
• The scene in which Alvy sneezes into the cocaine he is offered was not planned, it was an actual sneeze, when the scene was tested it got so many laughs that Allen decided to not only keep it in, but also added additional footage after the scene since it got so many laughs people laughed through the dialogue of the next scene.
• Diane Keaton's actual name is Diane Hall, and interestingly enough her friends have always called her by her nickname Annie.
• The clothes that Annie Hall wears in this film were almost entirely all Diane Keaton's own clothes.
