Witty and funny dialogues as usual by Woody Allen. But the movie lacks the drive that fuels a story. Uses the central story to shed light on the colourful characters, although it works, but the story itself isn't strong enough to hold on its own. The movie is perhaps enjoyable only because of the creative lines typically seen in Woody's movies. Woody Allen's acting is also memorable as he emits a sense of old-school extravagance in modern movies that doesn't seem out of place at all.
It’s such a pleasant experience watching W.A.’s Manhattan Murder Mystery.
Several points to note:
1. When I heard them playing Dave Brubeck quartet’s take five at their first discussion of the mysterious death of Mrs. House, I knew that the movie’s background music is going to play jazz most of the time. And that pleases me. The same happened when it played twice at two exciting spots (one where Carol decides to stalk the widower, aka the chase with her mumbling husband Larry; another was when Larry took his car and drove it to Paul’s cinema backdoor after being telephone-blackmailed by Paul’s threatening killing Carol), the very famous track by Benny Goodman and his Orchestra called ‘Sing, Sing, Sing (with a Swing)’. And that actually reminded me, rather naturally, the tap dance by fred astaire and Gene Kelly. What an age!
伍迪艾伦一贯的话痨喜剧风格，前半部分絮絮叨叨着实有点无聊，后半部分很精彩！真的有被反转震惊到！
影片最开始的时候我和larry想法差不多，以为carol在疑神疑鬼，甚至觉得她在借此增加和ted相处的机会。在她偷偷拿钥匙进paul家里的时候，我在屏幕外比电影里的carol还要紧张。还有电梯里以及最后carol回家换衣服的情节，都让我一度认为这部电影属于惊悚片范畴。
情感方面，我觉得carol和ted、larry和女作家（不记得叫什么了）多多少少对对方都有些好感，最开始的时候carol和ted一起办案兴致勃勃
