Annie Hall is one of Woody Allen’s most famous films. Allen directed and starred in the film alongside Diane Keaton. The romantic comedy centers on Alvy “Max” Singer, who tries to figure out why his relationship with a woman named Annie Hall didn’t work out. The movie was filmed largely on the South Fork of Long Island. Allen worked with cinematographer Gordon Willis, which seemed like an odd match at the time because Willis was known for more dramatic work, such as The Godfather. It marked the beginning of a long and fortuitous partnership. Annie Hall won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress.
