Story Synopsis

Outrageous comedy and disturbing drama intersect in Woody Allen’s Crimes And Misdemeanors. When ophthalmologist Judah Rosenthal (Martin Landau in an Oscar®-nominated role) is threatened with ruin by his mistress (Anjelica Huston) when he will not leave his wife (Claire Bloom), he considers the ultimate solution to his problem—murder. Meanwhile, documentary filmmaker Clifford Stern (Woody Allen), is faced with another moral dilemma—selling out. As a director, Allen compares the choices both men make, weaving the parallel story lines to brilliantly combine a humorous portrait of Manhattan life with harrowing drama.
