	Movies - Manhattan Murder Mystery

Manhattan Murder Mystery is a 1993 film directed by and starring Woody Allen who plays Manhattanite book editor Larry Lipton. Lipton's wife, played by Diane Keaton, becomes curious about the death of a neighbor in their apartment building and drags her reluctant husband into an amateur criminal investigation. The title was originally a generic working title of the sort Allen uses while shooting most of his films and was simply never changed. The movie, co-written with Marshall Brickman, features performances by Anjelica Huston and Alan Alda as friends of the couple, who also become involved in the investigation (albeit to a lesser extent). Diane Keaton's role was written for Mia Farrow before her separation from Allen.

Shot on location in New York City like most of Allen's movies, Manhattan Murder Mystery adds to the genre of murder mystery with musings on middle age and marriage. The film harkens back to Allen's more farcical comedies of the 1970s, rather than his romantic dramas of the 80s and 90s. Allen says he was inspired by The Thin Man
series of films.
