The Dryden will screen Manhattan (Woody Allen, US 1979, 95 min., 35mm).

Woody Allen's most critically acclaimed movie is a love letter to his hometown set to the romantic music of George Gershwin and photographed in glorious black and white Panavision by Gordon Willis. The story details the love life of comedy writer Isaac Davis (Allen), who is torn between sweet, devoted 17-year-old Tracy (Mariel Hemingway) and the neurotic but fascinating Mary (Diane Keaton), the mistress of Isaac's best friend (Michael Murphy). To complicate matters, Isaac's ex-wife (Meryl Streep) has written a tell-all memoir of their failed marriage.
