synopsis:
Isaac Davis, a middle-aged New Yorker has a job he hates, a 17-year-old girlfriend he doesn’t love and a lesbian ex-wife he’d like to strangle, because he’s writing a book in which he tells about the intimacies of his marriage. When he meets Mary, the sexy and snobbish lover of his best friend, he falls madly in love with her. The idea of leaving his girlfriend, sleeping with Mary and leaving his job is the beginning of a new life for him.
The review says:
“Extraordinarily good and fun (…) In addition to being director and co-author -with Marshall Brickman- of the film, Allen is his most important presence.” Vincent Canby: The New York Times
