This film is a masterpiece! There really isn't a storyline, just lots of little sub plots that all fit together perfectly. For reasons I can't explain, when the movie is over, I feel wonderful!
My grandparents use to have a summer place in Far Rockaway Queens,NYC.. where they stay for the summer from the late 1950's to the 1960's..eventually..they moved from The Bronx,NYC to Far Rockaway..where they remained..until they passed away..my grandpa Max died in 1973..my grandma Anna in 2006.
This film means so much to me because it portrays my parents' era. If I were to make a movie about their teenage years during the Depression, it would be a lot like this.
My dad who typically doesn’t like Woody Allen movies this one he did. Most of his movies are relationship oriented but this is flat out nostalgic comedy. Bullets Over Broadway another favorite is like that too.
I love the introduction with September Song on the background. It perfectly sets the tone for this movie (along with the preceding opening gag, of course!).
I look forward to when this lovely movie comes on Tuner Classic Movies. Every time I see this movie my face lights up with joy. It just gives me a warm feeling 😌 ☺️ inside when I see it. Thanks to whoever put this clip up.
This was based on the tragedy of Kathy Fiscus, who fell down a well in San Marino, CA in 1949. They didn't have the equipment to get her out in time to save her life. Stan Chambers reported live on TV on the rescue attempt, for about 9 hours straight, according to my dad. This well was located on what is now the San Marino High School athletic field.
This is one of my favorite movies for a lot of reasons, the biggest being that even though it was decades later, this family could have been my Jewish family, complete with the lilt that was Yiddish even when the words were English.
I found out where the opening shot is - Beach 115th St in Rockaway Park, Queens! Their house was 180 Beach 115th St in particular. The house is still there, but the half of the street closer to the water is completely different, it's all been torn down and rebuilt to something different.
El comienzo de esta película con el plano de la lluvia en la calle, la voz en off y el sonido del piano interpretando September Song es prodigioso. Pura poesia cargada de nostalgia, de recuerdos de infancias olvidadas, de olores a café y tostadas, a asfalto mojado, a mar.........etc. En fin, reconfortante melancolia.
One of the funniest things in this clip is when he says he would listen to Masked Avenger and thought of him as a cross between Superman and Cary Grant.. 'little did i know..' then you hear his voice LOL
"You don't like it, take the gas pipe." They didn't add a stinky oderent to methane back then so people would off themselves using gas from the kitchen stove.
could somebody please tell me what exact recording of September Song is playing in the beginning? it is by far my favorite version. please and thanks! :D
![Proof that Science is NEVER settled, see what's heathy in 2173 [Sleeper 1973] Lol](/img/n.gif)
Any film that came make you yearn for a time and place you never even came close to knowing, is amazing.
Wow. I like that. So true. I want to be there.
@ and I've loved it since it came out in 1987, when I was 15.

When you watch this, you become calm and your blood pressure goes down
One of Woody's best and most completely satisfying films. Made with such love, humor and skill
Completely satisfying perfectly sums it up.
I couldnt agree more. Its the America I'd have loved to experience. Despite it being so romantic.

One of the best Woody Allen's movie
❤ the best!
Best Movie Ever Made
I love this film, the details of the era are captured very well
The BEST Woody Allen movie. I love this introduction!
I feel emotional watching this masterpiece woody allen is a genius
Our fondest memories. It is true. The gloomiest, rainy,snowy days were the most beautiful.
My dad who typically doesn’t like Woody Allen movies this one he did. Most of his movies are relationship oriented but this is flat out nostalgic comedy. Bullets Over Broadway another favorite is like that too.
This was my favourite Woody Allen film. Fabulous.
I love this film so much!
"are you telling me you think the Atlantic is a greater ocean than the Pacific?"
"No, have it your way!"
then the glance off to the camera, pure gold!
This performance of "September song" is one of the best I've ever heard. also "Body and Soul" is fantastic.
I love the introduction with September Song on the background. It perfectly sets the tone for this movie (along with the preceding opening gag, of course!).

Perfect film love it , his commentary along with the family scenes , fabulous
An amazing film. The child falling in the well scene really took you back to when the nation grieved together.

This movie is pure gold ... and I’m Mexican!
this and Broadway Danny Rose , he's a master of sentiment !
Radio stars were just as big as movie stars back then. Though most are now forgotten.
The perfect movie exists...
This is it.❤❤❤❤❤
I'll always remember watching this movie with my mom as a kid
What a gorgeous film. Every frame glows, not just from the lighting but the nostalgia. Woody’s DP was the great Carlo Di Palma.
This film is perfect , fabulous , a masterpiece of nostalgia love it
"Ceil...I got fish." Whenever I bring fish home from grocery shopping, this line plays in my head.
This is one of my favorite movies for a lot of reasons, the biggest being that even though it was decades later, this family could have been my Jewish family, complete with the lilt that was Yiddish even when the words were English.
Love this movie for the beautiful music. ❤
"A more exciting life than having to filet his flounder" Love that line.
My favorite Woody Allen movie.
This and Zelig.
My favorite together with Broadway Danny Rose.
MASTERPIECE
I love this opening shot with the stormy sea... i've tried to find this filming location on google maps but no luck
I found out where the opening shot is - Beach 115th St in Rockaway Park, Queens! Their house was 180 Beach 115th St in particular. The house is still there, but the half of the street closer to the water is completely different, it's all been torn down and rebuilt to something different.
Much of the neighborhood was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.
I love this film... and I love Bullets over Broadway.

Beware evil doers wherever you are!
"It's different, our lives are ruined already. You still have a chance to grow up and be somebody."
I love this movie.
"You don't like it, take the gas pipe." They didn't add a stinky oderent to methane back then so people would off themselves using gas from the kitchen stove.
By far my favourite of Allen's artsy-fartsy period.
I defy anybody to watch this film and not be instantly transported to a reverie of your own childhood.
"I mean, how many people fight over oceans?"
And us crazy Irish were in the neighborhood next door.
2:38...my grandparents exactly, LOL
I remember the party line
@avilanews I think this edges out Hannah and Her Sisters as my favorite.
My favorite too my Uncle Martin Sherman was Dr. Abercrombie.
could somebody please tell me what exact recording of September Song is playing in the beginning? it is by far my favorite version. please and thanks! :D
This may have been recorded for the movie soundtrack by music director Dick Hyman.
Are you saying the Atlantic is greater than the Pacific? How many people argue about oceans? LOL
Comedy genius comedy gold
@nycglitztap I believe this version was performed by Roger Williams.
Notice dad is reading the phony Life magazine with the cover photo of the 'whiz kid' they will meet later at the zoo.
Good spot!
Charmed, although charmed is probably overstating it! LOL
@young5ever THIS was Allen's artsy-fartsy period? You have GOT to be kidding.
please anyone!! what is the name of that beautiful song in the beginning?!:)
September Song by Kurt Weill but I don't know who performed this version
@nycglitztap You're welcome.
Miss Gordon! Wow!
@eltiolatranca thank you very much!!! :)
you don't like it ...take the gas pipe
Is that Marge Simpson I hear......yes it is!
too funny i have full fish
You don’t like this movie? Take the gas pipe!😂
Cafe society bought me here
So much to like about this film, but one aspect that always turned me off: Allen’s narration. He sounds like he’s barking rather than talking.
The Trumps!!!
Aunt b is gorgeous
