Manhattan Murder Mystery
Diane Keaton stars as Carol Lipton, a bored Manhattan housewife who becomes convinced that her next-door neighbor has committed a murder. When her skeptical husband Larry (Woody Allen) rejects the idea, Carol turns to a flirtatious friend (Alan Alda) to help her search for clues. And as their enthusiasm for the case grows, so does their interest in each other. Spurred on by jealousy--and by a seductive writer (Anjelica Huston) who's also excited by the mystery--Larry reluctantly joins the chase, only to learn that much more than his marriage is at stake.

Mahattan Murder Mystery may not be Woody Allen's best movie but it might be the most entertaining. This is a wonderful entertaining farce that doesn;t sell its mystery short and really goes all the way with its premise. The dialogue, acting and script and what you expect from a good Woody Allen movie this one really does deliver.
This is a real enjoyable peice of work.Homage Abound - xYJx
Bare no bones about it, this is a Woody homage picture to all the murder mysteries of the 40's & 50's. Don't expect a film noir, but this has to be Woody's most "thriller" type film yet. It definitely reaches to a more commercial audience while maintaining the admirable neurotic Woody quality that so many people love about his films. This is one of his best.Good, clean fun - diloewen
Even though I'm not really a Woody Allen fan this movie held my attention throughout. There was enough mystery about it to keep a person guessing almost to the end. Although I found Woody's nattering a bit of a bore I guess it's the price you pay for watching a Woody Allen movie. Very good supporting cast. I ended the movie with a smile on my face.
