Woody Allen Collection, The

VHS, MGM

Includes: "Alice," "Another Woman," "Crimes And Misdemeanors," "September" and "Shadows And Fog" "Alice" - "Hilarious and romantic, serious and exuberantly satiric" (The New York Times), "Alice" is the whimsical tale of a pampered New York socialite fumbling toward love, enlightenment...and just the right acupuncturist. Starring Mia Farrow, William Hurt, Joe Mantegna and Alec Baldwin, "Alice" "glides effortlessly" (New York) from reality to daydream, and from memory to magic, revealing the intricate and unfathomable unity of human bonds. "Alice" "make[s] us believe that fairy tales can still happen" (Newsweek)! "Another Woman" - A 50-year old professor of philosophy deludes herself into thinking she's got a very good life. Suddenly, through some strange, almost magical events, it all becomes unraveled. "Crimes And Misdemeanors" - "Poignant, penetrating [and] scathingly hilarious" (L.B. Press Telegram), "Crimes And Misdemeanors" is a deftly rendered tale about the complexity of human choices and the moral microcosms they represent. Showcasing Allen's brilliant grasp of the link between the funny and the fatal, his 19th movie is "one of the watershed films of his career" (Los Angeles Times). "September" - Woody Allen delivers a haunting, "superbly constructed" (The Hollywood Reporter) film that examines the intricate world of human emotions and the delicate threads that hold them together. Beautifully acted by an all-star cast, including Mia Farrow, Sam Waterston, Dianne Wiest, Denholm Elliott, Elaine Stritch and Jack Warden, "September" illustrates "some of Allen's most powerfully ironic dialogue in years" (Screen International). "Shadows And Fog" - "Lovely, poignant" (The Wall Street Journal) and laugh-out-loud funny, "Shadows And Fog" confirms Woody Allen's genius with its brilliant portrait of the hopeless - but hilarious - tragicomedy of human existence. Boasting a dazzling "galaxy of stars" (Leonard Maltin) including Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, John Malkovich, Madonna, Donald Pleasence, Lily Tomlin, Jodie Foster, Kathy Bates, John Cusack and Julie Kavner, "Shadows And Fog" delights with "all the fantasy and seriousness, mysterious construction and burlesque complications of a Shakespeare comedy" (Le Monde).
