Plot Outline:A divorced New Yorker currently dating a high-schooler brings himself to look for love in the mistress of his best friend instead.
In Manhattan, Isac Davis (Woody Allen) is a divorced writer of TV shows unhappy with his job. His ex-wife left him to live with another woman and is writing a book about her relationship with Isac. He presently dates a seventeen years old high-school student, Tracy (Mariel Hemingway), who is in love with him, but he does not like her. When he meets Mary Wilkie (Diane Keaton), the mistress of his married best friend Yale (Michael Murphy), he has a crush on her. He finishes with Tracy and has an affair with Mary, affecting the lives of many persons including his own.There are many fantastic lines along the story, with right doses of his typical bitter humor and romance.diane Keaton's Mary remains the most perfect of the characterizations as the neurotic free spirit who despite her total self-absorption inspires our sympathy and affection.Mariel Hemingway certainly has her best performance in the fantastic and very touching character of Tracy.
While many comparisons between 'Manhattan' and Woody Allen's previous comedy 'Annie Hall' can be made, this movie stands out by itself.
8/10 .loved it.
