Annie Hall is a 1977 American romantic comedy film directed by
Woody Allen from a script co-written with
Marshall Brickman. One of Allen's most popular films, it won numerous awards at the time of its release, including four
Academy Awards, and in 2002
Roger Ebert referred to it as "just about everyone's favorite Woody Allen movie".
Allen had previously been known as a maker of zany comedies; the director has described
Annie Hall as "a major turning point",
