Crimes And Misdemeanors - 1989 - 7/10
Eye specialist Judah has a successful practice, community esteem, strong marriage, and a mistress.
A mistress who is a headcase, demanding he get a divorce and marry her.
Who is unafraid to reveal all to his wife, thereby wrecking his life.
Concurrent with this is the story of a small documentary maker, Cliff.
Actually, he is a failure, and forced to work for a rival, a highly successful one.
Both step down the path of transgression. One major, one petty.
I know a lot of Allen fans view this as one of his finest.
For me, this is the precursor to Match Point, which is my favorite Allen.
