Anne Byrne Hoffman (born September 28, 1943) is an American actress.
 She had a small role as the wife of Woody Allen's philandering best friend in "Manhattan" (1979), and also appeared in "Why Would I Lie?
" (1980) and "A Night Full of Rain" (1978).
 She was the first wife of actor Dustin Hoffman, having one child, Jenna Byrne (born October 15, 1970), by him.
 Hoffman adopted Byrne's daughter from a previous marriage, Karina Hoffman-Birkhead (born 1966).
 Byrne and Hoffman divorced in 1980 and both remarried that same year, Byrne to Ivan Kronenfeld, who also had a small role in a major Woody Allen film: Barbara Hershey's husband in "Hannah and Her Sisters".
Sweet and Lowdown is a 1999 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Woody Allen.
 Loosely based on Federico Fellini's film "La Strada", the film tells the fictional story, set in the 1930s, of a self-confident jazz guitarist Emmet Ray (played by Sean Penn) who falls in love with a mute woman (Samantha Morton).
 The film also stars Uma Thurman and Anthony LaPaglia.
 Like several of Allen's other films (e.g., "Zelig"), the film is occasionally interrupted by interviews with critics and biographers like Allen, Nat Hentoff, and Douglas McGrath, who comment on the film's plot as if the characters were real-life people.
Match Point is a 2005 British-Luxembourgish psychological thriller film written and directed by Woody Allen and starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer, Matthew Goode, Brian Cox, and Penelope Wilton.
 In the film, Rhys Meyers's character marries into a wealthy family, but his social position is threatened by his affair with his brother-in-law's girlfriend, played by Johansson.
 The film treats themes of morality, greed, and the roles of lust, money, and luck in life, leading many to compare it to Allen's earlier film "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (1989).
 It was produced and filmed in London after Allen had difficulty finding financial support for the film in New York.
 The agreement obliged him to make it there using a cast and crew mostly from the United Kingdom.
 Allen quickly re-wrote the script, which was originally set in New York, for a British setting.
Sam B. Girgus (born c. 1942) is an American film and literature scholar, professor of English at Vanderbilt University.
 He is well known for his analysis of the works of Woody Allen in his books such as "The Films of Woody Allen" (2002) and "A Companion to Woody Allen" (2013) with Peter J. Bailey.
 He believes ultimately that Allen's films undermine the world in which we live.
Louise Lasser (born April 11, 1939) is an American actress and television writer.
 She is known for her portrayal of the title character on the soap opera satire "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman".
 She was married to Woody Allen and appeared in several of his early films.
Just Me and You is a 1978 television film.
 It was written by Louise Lasser and directed by John Erman.
Husbands and Wives is a 1992 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Woody Allen.
 The film stars Allen, Mia Farrow, Sydney Pollack, Judy Davis, Juliette Lewis, and Liam Neeson.
 It was nominated for two Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actress (Judy Davis) and Best Original Screenplay (Woody Allen).
 The film debuted shortly after the end of Allen and Farrow's romantic and professional partnership, and was their final of 13 films together.
 The movie is filmed by Carlo Di Palma with a handheld camera style and features documentary-like one-on-one interviews with the characters interspersed with the story.
The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is a 2001 crime comedy film written, directed and starring Woody Allen.
 The cast also features Helen Hunt, Dan Aykroyd, Elizabeth Berkley, John Schuck, Wallace Shawn, David Ogden Stiers and Charlize Theron.
 The plot concerns an insurance investigator and an efficiency expert who are both hypnotized by a crooked hypnotist into stealing jewels.
 The film bears much more in common with Allen's earlier screwball comedy films than with other films made by him around the same time.
Zelig is a 1983 American mockumentary film written and directed by Woody Allen and starring Allen and Mia Farrow.
 Allen plays Leonard Zelig, a nondescript enigma who, out of his desire to fit in and be liked, takes on the characteristics of strong personalities around him.
 The film, presented as a documentary, recounts his intense period of celebrity in the 1920s and includes analyses from contemporary intellectuals.
Take the Money and Run is a 1969 American mockumentary comedy film directed by Woody Allen and starring Allen and Janet Margolin (with Louise Lasser in a small role).
 Written by Allen and Mickey Rose, the film chronicles the life of Virgil Starkwell (Woody Allen), an inept bank robber.
