MANHATTAN

MGM HD, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

This 1979 Woody Allen movie may be most remembered, and perhaps uncomfortably, as a love letter to May-December romances, with Allen portraying a New Yorker pursuing a high-school girl played by Mariel Hemingway.  But it’s really a love letter to Manhattan itself, with photography, scenery, and music by George Gershwin, all combined to paint a black-and-white portrait of the city that couldn’t be more evocative. Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep co-star.
