Sometimes, Woody Allen gets so into stories about neurotic rich New Yorkers that his movies get boring. "Crimes and Misdemeanors" is acceptable. Ophthalmologist Judah Rosenthal (Martin Landau) has been having an affair for some years, but is now considering having his mistress murdered, while filmmaker Cliff Stern (Allen) is trying to have an affair.
Yeah, that sounds like something that would appear in a Woody Allen movie, but he does an OK job with it here. Pretty much everyone does a good job with their roles. Still, I wish that Allen would sometime return to the comedy that gave him his start.
