Der Stadtneurotiker
The success of Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" in 1977 stirred a new trend in filmmaking. "Annie Hall", a love story about a depressed comedian and a free-spirited woman, was followed with more sentimental films, including Neil Simon's "The Goodbye Girl", "An Unmarried Woman" starring Jill Clayburgh, the autobiographical Lillian Hellman story, "Julia", starring Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave, and 1978's "Heaven Can Wait" and "International Velvet".
