1. doesn’t speak for 10 minutes
   makes weird noises before speaking
2. talks directly to the camera
   faints then farts on cam

Woody Allen made a lot of innovations in this film, especially when it came to traditional Hollywood storytelling conventions, like talking directly to the audience. The man sure did break many rules in his life!

1. New York
   California
2. New Orleans
   Mexico

Of course, a Woody Allen film is primarily set in New York. The majority of his films are set here.

1. he had a threesome
   he attended a swinging party
2. he broke up recently with his girlfriend
   he got married again

Alvy reveals in his monologue that he recently broke up with his girlfriend. They had many issues, which will later be apparent through flashbacks.

1. Vietnam War
   Korean War
2. World War II
   Civil War

Alvy apparently has lots of issues growing up in Brooklyn during World War II. It’s not exactly clear what his problems have in connection with the war, but what the hey, he wants to mention it just the same!

1. gravity was discovered due to an apple
   the world is round, not flat
2. the universe is expanding
   the sun is the center of the universe

When a young Alvy learned that the universe is expanding, he thought it was useless to do anything, like study or something. His theory? That if the universe expands, it will eventually explode, so what’s the point of existing. Smart kid, eh.

1. ferris wheel
   bumper cars
2. merry-go-round
   dunk with the ball

Alvy’s father is a bumper car operator. Thus, he also gets to ride in bumper cars whenever he wants to. Cool!

1. rabbi
   hotel manager
2. comedian
   economist

Alvy reveals that he ended up as a comedian. And he’s so good at it, even when he’s not working!

1. James Dean
   Cary Grant
2. Robert Redford
   Gene Kelly

Alvy mentioned to the passerby that indeed, he appears on television once in a while. He introduced himself as Robert Redford.

1. The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson
   Arsenio Hall Show
2. Jay Leno Show
   The Oprah Winfrey Show

Alvy appears as a stand-up comedian sometimes on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson." Hence, he is indeed recognizable to fans of late-night TV.

1. indoor swimming
   tennis
2. soccer
   poker

Through his best friend, Rob, Alvy met Annie Hall. They played tennis doubles.

1. Marisa Tomei
   Diane Lane
2. Diane Keaton
   Ann Bancroft

Diane Keaton won an Academy Award for portraying Annie Hall. It is said that this role was written by Allen specifically with her in mind.

1. watch a movie
   make love
2. mock New York tourists
   read at the Public Library

Alvy and Annie like watching movies for their date nights. However, Alvy doesn’t want to miss the movie’s beginning, even if they just missed less than five minutes of it.

1. his parents
   Oprah Winfrey
2. passersby on the streets
   Carl Jung

Alvy sometimes approaches random passersby on the streets and asks for on-the-spot opinions. This is yet another quirky filmmaking technique for Allen.

1. Abraham Lincoln
   George Washington
2. Richard Nixon
   John F. Kennedy

Alvy and Alison realized that he was using his brain cells, obsessing about JFK’s assassination conspiracy theories, rather than having sex. That’s definitely a buzz kill!

1. Federico Fellini
   Stanley Kubrick
2. Clint Eastwood
   Marshall McLuhan

There’s nothing worse than waiting in line for a film than hearing a film critic-wannabe lambasting the great Italian filmmaker, Federico Fellini, or so Alvy thought. This is one time we see Alvy display his academically intellectual snob persona.

1. the military sector
   the records industry
2. the academic community
   the nonprofit sector

Communications theorist and academician, Marshall McLuhan, was game enough to appear in Woody Allen’s film as himself. Aside from being familiar to the academic community, filmmakers know him due to his famous line, “The medium is the message,” and other theories on mass media forms, like film.

1. lobsters
   eels
2. clams
   jellyfish

A scene in the movie depicted Alvy as queasy when trying to cook lobsters with Annie. Sometimes, seemingly simple moments like this work for the both of them.

1. investment banker
   college professor
2. actor
   travel guide

Annie seems to fall in love with guys who are in the entertainment sector. She cites an actor as one of her greatest loves, which Alvy finds hard to believe.

1. subtitles
   title cards
2. cue cards
   notes on their hands

Whenever Alvy and Annie had double talk time — meaning they won’t say what’s really on their mind — we can read their thoughts in their respective subtitles below the screen. This strategy has now been widely mimicked by other filmmakers on film and TV.

1. poetry declamation
   beatbox sound-making
2. singing
   rapping

Annie apparently sings in a club sometimes. She invited Alvy one night to watch her perform, and the girl can sing!

1. John Glover
   Mark Hamill
2. Christopher Walken
   Jeff Goldblum

Christopher Walken portrayed Annie Hall's the geeky-looking brother. Aside from him, the film had other notable cameos.

1. recite a poem
   drink some beer
2. smoke weed
   shoot random strangers

Alvy finally realized that Annie needed to get high before they have sex. This brings out some insecure feelings from him, of course.

1. she feels she’s not smart enough
   she feels she’s not rich enough
2. she feels immature sometimes
   she feels inadequate in bed

Annie once blurted out “I'm not smart enough.” This is in reaction to Alvy nudging her to expand her horizons academically.

1. technical-vocational lessons
   voice lessons
2. college courses
   cooking classes

Alvy continues to encourage Annie to take up some college courses in her spare time. This is for her own good, he says.

1. a Rolls Royce
   a Volkswagen
2. a Mini-Cooper
   a pickup truck

The quirky Annie Hall would be perfect to own a cute Volkswagen car during the 1970s, a time when it was very popular to have one. It was also known as “The Beetle,” because it looks like one.

1. Steamboat Willy
   Beauty and the Beast
2. Fantasia
   Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

In yet another quirky filmmaking process, Alvy became an animated character and entered the film, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." He was discussing his dilemma with the Evil Queen, who gave snide remarks.

1. mosquito
   cockroach
2. spider
   rats

Only people with special connections could call each other at 3 a.m. to ask the other to kill a spider in the bathroom. Alvy actually had a girl in the room when Annie called!

1. Annie and Alvy’s separate lives right now
   Annie and Alvy’s respective new sex partners
2. Annie and Alvy’s therapy sessions
   Annie and Alvy’s future aspirations

The therapy split screen scene was a stroke of genius with Allen, as he showed how both Alvy and Annie dealt with their feelings during their respective sessions. It’s like an easy compare-and-contrast scene, which shows us the huge difference in their personalities.

1. Elvis Presley
   Paul Simon
2. Michael Jackson
   Buddy Holly

Paul Simon played the cool-cat producer named Tony Lacey. It wasn’t clear if he invited Annie because of her looks or talent, but he asked anyway.

1. he turned into a narc
   he called the police
2. he sneezed through the cocaine and scattered it
   he tried it himself

The ever-bumbling and fidgety Alvy was observing some cool people lining up some coke to snort. But it irritated his nose and he sneezed through it, blowing the stash away.

1. Iowa
   New Jersey
2. Mississippi
   California

If you want to be a singer, like Annie, you head on to California. Los Angeles is full of entertainment people who could help.

1. Cary Grant
   Jeff Goldblum
2. Brad Pitt
   Kurt Russell

Jeff Goldblum was the tall guy talking on the phone during the party scene. His line was “I forgot my mantra."

1. Halloween
   Christmas time
2. Fourth of July
   Valentine’s Day

Alvy was visibly uncomfortable being in Los Angeles, much less being in California during Christmas season. But that’s how much he wanted Annie back. But he got turned down.

1. Sigourney Weaver
   Carol Kane
2. Shelley Duvall
   Beverly D'Angelo

Shelley Duvall played the hare krishna-following journalist Alvy dated prior to meeting Annie Hall. Aside from her iconic role in "The Shining," she also portrayed Olive Oyl in "Popeye."

1. film script
   stage play
2. a one-act show
   a stand-up comedy routine

Alvy wrote a play featuring his real-life conversations with Annie. However, this time, he rewrote the ending and made it a happy one. New Yorkers can dream alright.
