Lake Tahoe | Annie Hall: Coney Island

Annie Hall is a 1977 American romantic comedy directed by Woody Allen from a screenplay co-written with Marshall Brickman and co-starring Diane Keaton.

• Allen has described the film as "a major turning point", as it introduced a level of seriousness to his films that was not found in the farces and comedies that were his work to that point.

Critical reaction to the film is generally positive. It won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Film critic Roger Ebert described it as "just about everyone's favorite Woody Allen movie". // "In My opinion, you should Watch it while outside your room it´s raining and you want to laugh out loud (LOL)." @GuinchaM

Alvy's childhood home was located under the Thunderbolt roller coaster at Coney Island^[4]

The production deviated from the screenplay. There was nothing written about Alvy's childhood home lying under a roller coaster, but when Allen was scouting locations in Brooklyn with Willis and art director Mel Bourne, he "saw this roller-coaster, and... saw the

 house under it. And I thought, we have to use this."In a similar vein, there is the incident where Alvy scatters a trove of cocaine with an accidental sneeze: although not in the script, the happenstance emerged from rehearsal and stayed in the movie. In audience testing, this laugh was so big that a re-edit had to add a hold so that the following dialogue was not lost.

Rosenblum's first assembly of the film, which ran to two hours and twenty minutes, featured the "surrealistic and abstract adventures of a neurotic Jewish comedian who was reliving his highly flawed life and in the process satirizing much of our culture,... a visual monologue, a more sophisticated and visual version of Take the Money and Run". Annie Hall herself was less prominent, and the material that was cut dwelt "on issues just touched in passing in the version we know", with "some of the free-est, funniest and most sophisticated material that Woody had ever created, and it hurt him to lose it."
