Woody Allen directs, co-writes and stars in this romantic comedy also starring Diane Keaton. Neurotic comedian Alvy Singer (Allen) falls for the eponymous heroine (Keaton) and the two of them attempt to build a solid relationship. They soon face problems, however, including their opposing feelings towards California and their own mutual paranoia.

Realising their differences stand in the way of a lasting relationship, they split up. It is not long before Alvy wants Annie back, but she is now living in California with another man.
