Nominated for Golden Globe and with another 10 wins & 8 nominations to
it's credit, the film revolves around family of rich liberal Upper East
Side New Yorkers are involved in the lessons of life as though it were a
musical from the 1930's. The extended family of liberal lawyer Bob
includes a do-gooder wife, daughters, son, grandfather, German maid,
stepdaughter and even the ex-husband. While the story concerns love and
engagements, a number of scenes are set in music to the traditions of
the old musicals where lines would lead into songs and dances.
This is a wonderfully funny story, affectionately parodying old-time
musicals, and evoking a nostalgic regret that they are not being made
any more. Dick Hyman's musical arrangements and the performances of the
musicians are truly satisfying. Alan Alda's rendition of the old Cole
Porter song "Thinking of You", accompanied by the marvelous Dick Hyman
on the piano, is first rate.
Woody Allen provides many hilarious moments. He uses the great violinist
Itzhak Perlman as the punch line to a carefully constructed gag. He uses
the invasion of privacy of a session of psychoanalysis as an offbeat
plot device. He satirizes the romantic young and the do-good impulses of
the old. He takes us from Manhattan to Venice and Paris. He involves us
in old tunes and comically elaborate dance routines. He gives us a good
time.
