Summary: Contains the Woody Allen films CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, ALICE, SHADOWS AND FOG, ANYTHING ELSE, and MELINDA AND MELINDA.
Contains the Woody Allen films CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, ALICE, SHADOWS AND FOG, ANYTHING ELSE, and MELINDA AND MELINDA. In CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, Judah Rosenthal is a successful ophthalmologist who is having an affair with Dolores. Dolores threatens to reveal their relationship unless Judah commits to her and leaves his wife. He admits his sin to Ben, a friend, a patient, and a learned rabbi who is losing his eyesight but not his faith. Judah turns to his brother Jack, who is connected to the mob and can make Dolores disappear. Meanwhile, Cliff Stern is a documentary filmmaker who accepts an assignment to film his pompous, successful brother-in-law, Lester, a comedy star; both Cliff and Lester fall for Hallie Reed, a producer involved in the documentary. In ALICE, Alice Tate is a bored housewife who seems to have everything she could possibly want. She seeks out a new life while under the influence of a Chinese healer. SHADOWS AND FOG is set in the 1920s and follows the events of a single night when the lives of a small European community are drawn together by the threat of murder and the magic of the circus. In ANYTHING ELSE, Jerry lives in New York City and is an up-and-coming writer waiting for the big break. He meets and falls in love at first sight with Amanda and dumps his current girlfriend. He then realises that he needs help with his career so turns to David, an ageing artist, who also ends up helping him with his romantic life. In MELINDA AND MELINDA, while at a dinner with her friends, Sy demonstrates that the same story can be both sad and uplifting, depending on how certain aspects are dealt with. To illustrate her point, Sy tells the story of recently divorced Melinda from two very different perspectives.
