Woody Allen’s “Crimes and Misdemeanors” is a rare combination of film noir and black comedy about an esteemed New York ophthalmologist (Martin Landau, “They Call Me Mister Tibbs”) whose affair with a flight attendant (Anjelica Huston, “Mr. North”) puts the careful construct of his life in jeopardy. As he contemplates a permanent solution to his problems, we are also treated to an interwoven story about another kind of moral crisis: a struggling documentary filmmaker (Allen) considers selling out by making a documentary about a Hollywood jackass (Alan Alda, “Paper Lion”) with the situation further complicated by the appearance of an entrancing TV producer (Mia Farrow, “Hannah and Her Sisters”). Highlighted by cinematography from the incomparable Sven Nykvist, the film was nominated for three Academy Awards®.
