Annie Hall

New York comedian Alvy Singer reflects ruefully upon a failed relationship. When he first met Annie Hall on a tennis date, she was an insecure wallflower in trousers, vest and tie. But they shared a self-deprecating sense of humour, plus certain deep-seated neurosis, and love soon blossomed. Alvy supported Annie’s hopes for a singing career and encouraged her to broaden her talents. But ironically, her increasing self-assurance, coupled with Alvy’s obsession with death and his seeming inability to enjoy himself, spelt trouble for their affair.
