Manhattan Murder Mystery is the 22nd film written and directed by Woody Allen, first released in 1993.
Woody Allen and Diane Keaton stars as Larry and Carol Lipton, a couple that live in a New York apartment building, across from an elderly couple. One night, one of the elderly neighbours die from a heart attack. Nothing seems strange, but Carol begins to suspect something – and she can’t let it go despite the doubt from her friends and husband.
After a period of drama – both on screen and off – Allen returns to something that is brightly comedic with Manhattan Murder Mystery. It’s a much needed breath of fresh air, compared to his previous film, Husbands And Wives. And in a crowd pleasing move, it reunited Allen with Diane Keaton.
Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages podcast. This week, we look at 1993’s Manhattan Murder Mystery. How it was conceived, how it was made, and how it was a bit of a laugh. Spoilers are everywhere – so watch the film and then come back.
