a definite must-see. interesting woody allen’s first dramatic foray into hollywood paid off big time in 1978 when this film was released. from maureen stapleton’s epic performance (wait for it – upon visiting australia she describes down under as “dead, like a morgue”) to joel schumacher’s lacklustre palette as costume designer (yes, that’s joel schumacher the director of ‘st. elmo’s fire’ and ‘the lost boys’) remember folks, this is a drama but stick with it and you’ll be glad. dynamo performances by diane keaton, geraldine page (not surprisingly).
