Synopsis

A native of Manhattan, Davis (Woody Allen is 42 years old and has reached a crisis point with the women in his life. He has a 17 year-old girlfriend Tracy (Mariel Hemingway) he no longer loves and a lesbian ex-wife Jill (Meryl Streep) who's writing a tell-all book about their marriage... and whom he'd like to strangle.

All this changes when he meets his best friend's sexy, intellectual mistress, Mary (Diane Keaton). Isaac is completely besotted... in lust! Leaving Tracy, seducing Mary and quitting his job are just the beginning of Isaac's quest for romance and fulfilment in a city where sex is as intimate as a handshake - and the gate to true love... is a revolving door.

Filmed in black and white.
