Crimes and Misdemeanors

Woody Allen · 1989 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A respected Manhattan ophthalmologist is being threatened with exposure by the woman he has been seeing, and his brother offers to have the problem taken off his hands. In a second strand a struggling documentary maker is hired to profile a television producer he despises and falls for the producer's assistant. Allen cut the two together so that the moral weather of one keeps blowing across the other.
