Hannah and her Sisters is one of Woody Alien's
great films. Indeed, he makes nary a misstep
from beginning to end in charting the amorous affiliations of three sisters and their men
over a two-year period.
Its structure is a successful mixture of out-right comedy, rueful meditation and sexual
complications.
Picture begins at a Thanksgiving dinner, and
ends at one two years later, with most of the
characters going through mate changes in the interim.
Hannah, played by Mia Farrow, was formerly married to TV producer Woody Alien
but is now happily wed to agent Michael
Caine, who, in turn, secretely lusts for his
wife' sexy sister, Barbara Hershey, the live-in mate of tormented
painter Max von Sydow.
The third sister (Dianne Wiest) is by far
the most neurotic of the bunch and, while
waiting for her acting, singing or writing career to take off, runs a catering business with
Carrie Fisher.
