Editorial Review:
Woody Allen was going through his off-screen scandal with Mia Farrow when Manhattan Murder Mystery was produced, so Diane Keaton was brought in to fill the role intended for Farrow. The reunion of Keaton and Allen only improves this already enjoyable Allen comedy, since they're so comfortable with each other's neuroses that they're delightfully convincing as a married couple who suspect their neighbor of murdering his wife. Actually, it's Keaton who obsesses about the possible foul play; Woody just wants them to mind their own business. But pretty soon they've recruited their friends (Alan Alda, Anjelica Huston) as amateur sleuths, and the movie turns into a Nancy Drew mystery for sophisticated Manhattanites. With a typical abundance of Woody Allen witticism and some memorable comic suspense, this engaging throwback to vintage Hollywood mysteries is guaranteed to please even the most noncommittal Woody Allen fans, and the Allen-Keaton chemistry is, as always, a genuine pleasure. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Woody Allen
This is one of the greatest Woody Allen movies!! I love it and am so happy to own it now.
Rating:  - Steerrrr-ike Three!
I don't think it's appropriate to rate a book or film primarily on whether or not I happen to "like" it. On the one hand, there are lots of books and movies I don't especially care for but which I nonetheless acknowledge as really good work. On the other hand, there are lots of both which I get a kick out of, even though I know that they're sheer baloney.
So when I run across a film or book that I don't care for, I generally bend over backwards to be fair to it, always asking myself ... Read More

IF YOU LIKE WOODY ALLEN VIEW THIS MOVIE, VERY GOOD, OUR FAMILY ENJOYED IT, PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE, AND IT SHIPPED IN A FEW SHORT DAYS, WE WILL ALWAYS RETURN AND PURCHASE OTHERS OF THIS TYPE. THK YOU MRS M. COLOMBO
Rating: - If you want a happy movie, go see Manhattan Murder Mystery.
The reunion of Keaton and Allen as a married couple, Larry and Carol Lipton, trying to figure out if their new next door neighbor has committed murder of his wife is their last film together, and IMO, the funniest. Angelica Houston and Alan Alda provide additional comic relief as friends helping the couple solve the mystery. For me, Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) is the most delightful and enjoyable of all Allen's films and I never laugh as much and hard as when I re-watch this comedy/whodunit. I ... Read More
Rating: - Clever and Quite Funny
After paying tribute to the masters (Bergman), Woody Allen went back to more familiar territory - with a delightful twist.
Think of it as Annie Hall Gets To Play Nancy Drew. Whatever, Manhattan Murder Mystery is a short, fast, and very funny, movie. It has an all-star cast (Alan Alda, Angelica Houston)and reunites Woody with Diane Keaton. The dialogue is swift, laugh-out-loud funny and the plot is entertaining. More important, adults act and talk like adults. Without being stuffy, ... Read More
