Review of Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) by Guido M — 21 Jun 2012

"What Manhattan Murder Mistery offers is refined comedy and some nail-bitting suspense to make another Woody Allen success".

Woody Allen and New York are like Cookies and Cream...Always so good together! What Woody Allen did this time is giving a twist to it's normal Romantic Comedy with a murder, and this movie truly offers not only fun but a solid, interesting plot to put up with.

Maybe the whole Murder idea is not complete, and not as legendary as Hitchcock nor any other mistery movie, but it sure is a great movie from Allen because behind the plot, there is the love issues he always treats with such simplicity and wittiness.

Of course, Woody's presence in this movie nails it, but let's do not discard Diane Keaton and Alan Alda, all very good in it's characters, and Anjelica Houston.....Well, she is an extra.

At the end we find a sweet, hilarious and slightly offensive but very Woody Allen-alike well done job, and I really miss this Woody Allen.

Carol (Diane Keaton) thinks her neighbour was killed by her husband, and as his husband Larry (Woody Allen) does not support her, she trusts her "friend" Ted (Alan Alda) to look more into this intriguing case.

I love Woody Allen, that's why I loved this movie. Is one you can see again and again and even though Woody should not try to deliverate mistery, and even though there were some hard pointed plot holes, the movie stills being a comedy classic.
