Considered to be Woody Allen's breakthrough movie, "Annie Hall" won four Oscars, including Best Picture (1977: Picture; Actress (Keaton); Director; Original Screenplay), and established Allen as the premier auteur filmmaker. Thought by many critics to be Allen’s magnum opus, "Annie Hall" confirmed that he had, "completed the journey from comic to humourist, 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 delievery needs a little work. Introduced by his best friend, Rob (Tony Roberts), to the dizy but delightful nightclub singer, Annie Hall (Diane Keaton), no sooner is Alvy in love, when his own insecurities sabotage the affair, forcing Annie 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 – recapture the only thing that ever mattered… true love.
