Director: Woody Allen Edit Storyline Alvy Singer, a forty year old twice divorced, neurotic, intellectual Jewish New York stand-up comic, reflects on the demise of his latest relationship, to Annie Hall, an insecure, flighty, Midwestern WASP aspiring nightclub singer. Unlike his previous relationships, Alvy believed he may have worked out all the issues in his life through fifteen years of therapy to make this relationship with Annie last, among those issues being not wanting to date any woman that would want to date him, and thus subconsciously pushing those women away.

Alvy not only reviews the many ups and many downs of their relationship, but also reviews the many facets of his makeup that led to him starting to date Annie. Those facets include growing up next to Coney Island in Brooklyn, being attracted to the opposite sex for as long as he can remember, and enduring years of Jewish guilt with his constantly arguing parents.

In recent films, there are fairly predictable endings. (i.e. guy gets girl after chase scene in Manhattan). Annie Hall goes against the grain of movies. There is definite chemistry between Allen and Keaton.

That is one of the main reasons this movie is successful. Alvy and Annie do not have high wage jobs, they do not go clubbing, nor are they incredibly attractive. Why does a movie character relationship have to be so extreme it's unconvincing? These days movie producers create plots that are unbelievable. They don't have any depth and usually have shallow intentions. You can sense that the two leads care for each other. The situations in this movie resemble real life and that is why it is so critically acclaimed and remembered. Sure Woody talked into the camera, but that, in a sense is real life as well. It reminds me of my usual thought process and how when I think; I feel as though I'm presenting my thoughts to myself. Only he is, presenting it to us. This movie is clever and thought provoking. If you're looking for the opposite of a yearly run of the mill movie, this is for you. 68 of 99 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

CHILDHOOD 1946 Birth Diane Keaton was born as Diane Hall on January 5, 1946, in Los Angeles, California. … Read More Her mother, Dorothy Deanne (nÃ©e Keaton; 1921â2008), was a homemaker and amateur photographer; her father, John Newton Ignatius "Jack" Hall (1922â1990), was a real estate broker and civil engineer. Keaton was raised a Free Methodist by her mother. Her mother won the "Mrs. Los Angeles" pageant for homemakers; Keaton has said that the theatricality of the event inspired her first impulse to be an actress, and led to her wanting to work on stage. She has also credited Katharine Hepburn, whom she admires for playing strong and independent women, as one of her inspirations.

Read Less TEENAGE 1963 17 Years Old Keaton is a 1963 graduate of Santa Ana High School in Santa Ana, California. … Read More During her time there, she participated in singing and acting clubs at school, and starred as Blanche DuBois in a school production of A Streetcar Named Desire. After graduation, she attended Santa Ana College, and later Orange Coast College as an acting student, but dropped out after a year to pursue an entertainment career in Manhattan. Upon joining the Actors' Equity Association, she changed her surname to Keaton, her mother's maiden name, as there was already an actress registered under the name of Diane Hall. For a brief time, she also moonlighted at nightclubs with a singing act. She would later revisit her nightclub act in Annie Hall (1977) and And So It Goes (2014), and a cameo in Radio Days (1987).<br /><br /> Keaton began studying acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City.

She initially studied acting under the Meisner technique, an ensemble acting technique first evolved in the 1930s by Sanford Meisner, a New York stage actor/acting coach/director who had been a member of The Group Theater (1931â1940). She has described her acting technique as, "being only as good as the person you're acting with... As opposed to going it on my own and forging my path to create a wonderful performance without the help of anyone. I always need the help of everyone!" According to Jack Nicholson, "She approaches a script sort of like a play in that she has the entire script memorized before you start doing the movie, which I don't know any other actors doing that." Read Less TWENTIES 1968 22 Years Old In 1968, Keaton became a member of the "Tribe" and understudy to Sheila in the original Broadway production of Hair. … Read More She gained some notoriety for her refusal to disrobe at the end of Act I when the cast performs nude, even though nudity in the production was optional for actors (Those who performed nude received a $50 bonus).

After acting in Hair for nine months, she auditioned for a part in Woody Allen's production of Play It Again, Sam. After nearly being passed over for being too tall (at 5 ft 8 in./1.73 m she is two inches/5 cm taller than Allen), she won the part.<br /><br /> After being nominated for a Tony Award for Play It Again, Sam, Keaton made her film debut in Lovers and Other Strangers (1970). She followed with guest roles on the television series Love, American Style and Night Gallery, and Mannix. Between films, Keaton appeared in a series of deodorant commercials. Read Less 1970 24 Years Old … Diane Keaton (born Diane Hall; January 5, 1946) is an American film actress, director and producer. Read Less She began her career on stage and made her screen debut in 1970.

… Read More Her first major film role was as Kay Adams-Corleone in The Godfather (1972), but the films that shaped her early career were those with director and co-star Woody Allen, beginning with Play It Again, Sam in 1972. Her next two films with Allen, Sleeper (1973) and Love and Death (1975), established her as a comic actor. Her fourth, Annie Hall (1977), won her the Academy Award for Best Actress.<br /><br /> Keaton subsequently expanded her range to avoid becoming typecast as her Annie Hall persona. She became an accomplished dramatic performer, starring in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977) and received Academy Award nominations for Reds (1981), Marvin's Room (1996) and Something's Gotta Give (2003). Some of her popular later films include Baby Boom (1987), Father of the Bride (1991), The First Wives Club (1996), and The Family Stone (2005). Keaton's films have earned a cumulative gross of over US$1.1 billion in North America.

In addition to acting, she is also a photographer, real estate developer, author, and occasional singer. Read Less Show Less Keaton's breakthrough role came two years later when she was cast as Kay Adams, the girlfriend and eventual wife of Michael Corleone (played by Al Pacino) in Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 film The Godfather. … Read More Coppola noted that he first noticed Keaton in Lovers and Other Strangers, and cast her because of her reputation for eccentricity that he wanted her to bring to the role (Keaton claims that at the time she was commonly referred to as "the kooky actress" of the film industry). Her performance in the film was loosely based on her real life experience of making the film, both of which she has described as being "the woman in a world of men." Read Less The Godfather was an unparalleled critical and financial success, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year and winning the Best Picture Oscar of 1972. … Read More Two years later she reprised her role as Kay Adams in The Godfather Part II. She was initially reluctant, stating that, "At first, I was skeptical about playing Kay again in the Godfather sequel.

But when I read the script, the character seemed much more substantial than in the first movie." In Part II, her character changed dramatically, becoming more embittered about her husband's activities. Even though Keaton received widespread exposure from the films, her character's importance was minimal. Time wrote that she was "invisible in The Godfather and pallid in The Godfather, Part II."<br /><br /> Keaton's other notable films of the 1970s included many collaborations with Woody Allen. Although by the time they made films together, their romantic involvement had ended, she played many eccentric characters in several of his comic and dramatic films, including Sleeper, Love and Death, Interiors, Manhattan, and the film version of Play It Again, Sam, directed by Herbert Ross. Allen has credited Keaton as his muse during his early film career. Read Less THIRTIES Show Less In Manhattan in 1979, Keaton and Woody Allen ended their long working relationship, and the film would be their last major collaboration until 1993. She was already dating Warren Beatty from 1979 when they had co-lead roles in the film Reds.

… Read More Beatty was a regular subject in tabloid magazines and media coverage in which she was included much to her bewilderment. Her avoidance of the spotlight earned her in 1985 from Vanity Fair the attribution as "the most reclusive star since Garbo." This relationship ended shortly after Reds wrapped. Troubles with the production are thought to have caused strain on the relationship, including numerous financial and scheduling problems. Keaton remains friends with Beatty.<br /><br /> Keaton also had a relationship with her The Godfather Trilogy costar Al Pacino. Their on-again, off-again relationship ended following the filming of The Godfather Part III. Keaton said of Pacino, "Al was simply the most entertaining man... To me, that's, that is the most beautiful face. I think Warren was gorgeous, very pretty, but Al's face is like whoa. Killer, killer face." Read Less 1984 38 Years Old 1984 brought The Little Drummer Girl, Keaton's first excursion into the thriller and action genre.

… Read More The Little Drummer Girl was both a financial and critical failure, with critics claiming that Keaton was miscast for the genre, such as one review from The New Republic claiming that "the title role, the pivotal role, is played by Diane Keaton, and around her the picture collapses in tatters. She is so feeble, so inappropriate." However, that same year she received positive reviews for her performance in Mrs. Soffel, a film based on the true story of a repressed prison warden's wife who falls in love with a convicted murderer and arranges for his escape. Two years later she starred with Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek in Crimes of the Heart, adapted from Beth Henley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play into a moderately successful screen comedy. Read Less FORTIES Show Less In 1987, she starred in Baby Boom, her first of four collaborations with writer-producer Nancy Meyers. … Read More In Baby Boom, Keaton starred as a Manhattan career woman who is suddenly forced to care for a toddler. That same year she made a cameo in Allen's film Radio Days as a nightclub singer. 1988's The Good Mother was a misstep for Keaton.

The film was a financial disappointment (according to Keaton, the film was "a Big Failure. Like, BIG failure"), and some critics panned her performance, such as one review from The Washington Post: "her acting degenerates into hype â as if she's trying to sell an idea she can't fully believe in." Read Less In 1987, Keaton directed and edited her first feature film, a documentary named Heaven about the possibility of an afterlife. … Read More Heaven met with mixed critical reaction, with The New York Times likening it to "a conceit imposed on its subjects." Over the next four years, Keaton went on to direct music videos for artists such as Belinda Carlisle, two television films starring Patricia Arquette, and episodes of the series China Beach and Twin Peaks.<br /><br /> By the 1990s, Keaton had established herself as one of the most popular and versatile actors in Hollywood. She shifted to more mature roles, frequently playing matriarchs of middle-class families. Of her role choices and avoidance of becoming typecast, she said: "Most often a particular role does you some good and Bang!

You have loads of offers, all of them for similar roles... I have tried to break away from the usual roles and have tried my hand at several things."<br /><br /> She began the decade with The Lemon Sisters, a poorly received comedy/drama that she starred in and produced, which was shelved for a year after its completion. In 1991, Keaton starred with Steve Martin in the family comedy Father of the Bride. She was almost not cast in the film, as the commercial failure of The Good Mother had strained her relationship with Walt Disney Pictures, the studio of both films. Father of the Bride was Keaton's first major hit after four years of commercial disappointments. Read Less 1990 44 Years Old Keaton reprised her role of Kay Adams in 1990's The Godfather Part III. … Read More Set 20 years after the end of The Godfather, Part II, Keaton's part had evolved into the estranged ex-wife of Michael Corleone. Criticism of the film and Keaton again centered on her character's unimportance in the film.

The Washington Post wrote: "Even though she is authoritative in the role, Keaton suffers tremendously from having no real function except to nag Michael for his past sins." Read Less 1993 47 Years Old In 1993, Keaton starred in Manhattan Murder Mystery, her first major film role in a Woody Allen film since 1979, having made a cameo in 1987's Radio Days. … Read More Her part was originally intended for Mia Farrow, but Farrow dropped out of the project after her split with Allen. Read Less 1995 49 Years Old In 1995, Keaton directed Unstrung Heroes, her first theatrically released narrative film. … Read More The movie, adapted from Franz Lidz's memoir, starred Nathan Watt as a boy in 1960s whose mother (Andie MacDowell) becomes ill with cancer. As her sickness advances and his inventor father (John Turturro) grows increasingly distant, the boy is sent to live with his two eccentric uncles (Maury Chaykin and Michael Richards).

In a geographic switch, Keaton shifted the story's setting from the New York of Lidz's book to the Southern California of her own childhood. And the four mad uncles were reduced to a whimsical odd couple. In an essay for the New York Times, Lidz said that the cinematic Selma had died not of cancer, but of 'Old Movie Disease'. "Someday somebody may find a cure for cancer, but the terminal sappiness of cancer movies is probably beyond remedy." Though it played in a relatively limited release and made little impression at the box office, the film and its direction were generally well-received critically. Read Less FIFTIES Show Less In 2001, Keaton co-starred with Warren Beatty in Town & Country, a critical and financial fiasco. … Read More Budgeted at an estimated US$90 million, the film opened to little notice and grossed only US$7 million in its North American theatrical run.

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wrote that Town & Country was "less deserving of a review than it is an obituary.The corpse took with it the reputations of its starry cast, including Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton." Read Less Also in 2001, and 2002, Keaton starred in four low-budget television films. … Read More She played a fanatical nun in the religious drama Sister Mary Explains It All, an impoverished mother in the drama On Thin Ice, and a bookkeeper in the mob comedy Plan B. In Crossed Over, she played Beverly Lowry, a woman who forms an unusual friendship with the only woman executed while on death row in Texas, Karla Faye Tucker. Keaton's first major hit since 1996 came in 2003's Something's Gotta Give, directed by Nancy Meyers and co-starring Jack Nicholson. Nicholson and Keaton, aged 66 and 57 respectively, were seen as bold casting choices for leads in a romantic comedy. Twentieth Century Fox, the film's original studio, reportedly declined to produce the film, fearing that the lead characters were too old to be bankable.

Keaton commented about the situation in Ladies' Home Journal: "Let's face it, people my age and Jack's age are much deeper, much more soulful, because they've seen a lot of life. They have a great deal of passion and hopeâwhy shouldn't they fall in love? Why shouldn't movies show that?" Keaton played a middle-aged playwright who falls in love with her daughter's much older boyfriend. The film was a major success at the box office, grossing US$125 million in North America. Roger Ebert wrote that "Nicholson and Keaton bring so much experience, knowledge and humor to their characters that the film works in ways the screenplay might not have even hoped for." Read Less In July 2001, Keaton revealed her thoughts on being older and unmarried: "I don't think that because I'm not married it's made my life any less. … Read More That old maid myth is garbage." Keaton has two adopted children, daughter Dexter (adopted 1996) and son Duke (2001). Her father's death made mortality more apparent to her, and she decided to become a mother at age 55.

She later said of having children, "Motherhood has completely changed me. It's just about the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had."<br /><br /> Keaton stated that she produced her 1987 documentary Heaven because, "I was always pretty religious as a kid... I was primarily interested in religion because I wanted to go to heaven." Nevertheless, she has also stated that she considered herself an agnostic.<br /><br /> Keaton is an opponent of plastic surgery. She told More magazine in 2004, "I'm stuck in this idea that I need to be authentic... My face needs to look the way I feel." Keaton is also active in campaigns with the Los Angeles Conservancy to save and restore historic buildings, particularly in the Los Angeles area. Among the buildings she has been active in restoring is the Ennis House in the Hollywood Hills designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Keaton had also been active in the failed campaign to save the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles (a hotel featured in Reservations), the location of Robert Kennedy's assassination in 1968.

Read Less 2004 58 Years Old Keaton's only film between the years of 2004 and 2006 was the comedy The Family Stone (2005), starring an ensemble cast that also included Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes, Rachel McAdams, and Craig T. Nelson. … Read More In the film, scripted and directed by Thomas Bezucha, Keaton played a breast cancer survivor and matriarch of a big New England family, who reunite at the parents' home for their annual Christmas holidays. The film was released to moderate critical and commercial success, and earned US$92.2 million worldwide. Keaton received her second Satellite Award nomination for her portrayal, on which Peter Travers of Rolling Stone commented, "Keaton, a sorceress at blending humor and heartbreak, honors the film with a grace that makes it stick in the memory." Read Less LATE ADULTHOOD 2007 61 Years Old In 2007, Keaton starred in both Because I Said So and Mama's Boy.

… Read More In the romantic comedy Because I Said So, directed by Michael Lehmann, Keaton played a long-divorced mother of three daughters, determined to pair off her only single daughter, Milly, played by Mandy Moore. Also starring Stephen Collins and Gabriel Macht, the project opened to overwhelmingly negative reviews by critics, with Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe calling it "a sloppily made bowl of reheated chick-flick cliches," and was ranked among the worst-reviewed films of the year. The following year, Keaton received her first and only Golden Raspberry Award nomination to date, for the film. In Mama's Boy, director Tim Hamilton's feature film debut, Keaton starred as the mother of a self-absorbed 29-year-old (played by Jon Heder) whose world turns upside down when his widowed mother starts dating and considers booting him out of the house. Distributed for a limited release to certain parts of the United States only, the independent comedy garnered largely negative reviews.

Credit: AP Diane Keaton | Biography & History | AllMusic google+ Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny After rising to fame in a series of hit Woody Allen comedies, Diane Keaton went on to enjoy a successful film career both as an actress and as a director. Born Diane Hall on January 5, 1946 in Los Angeles, she studied acting at Manhattan's Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater, and in 1968 understudied in Hair; on Broadway she met actor/director Allen, and appeared in his 1969 stage hit Play It Again, Sam. In 1970 Keaton made her film debut in the comedy Lovers and Other Strangers, and rose to fame as the paramour of Al Pacino's Michael Corleone in the 1972 blockbuster The Godfather. That same year, she and Allen -- with whom Keaton had become romantically involved off-screen -- reprised Play It Again, Sam for the cameras, and in 1973 he directed her in Sleeper; The Godfather Part II followed, as did Allen's Love and Death.

All of these films enjoyed great success, and Keaton stood on the verge of becoming a major star; however, when her next two pictures -- 1976's I Will, I Will for Now and Harry and Walter Go to New York -- both flopped, she returned to the stage to star in The Primary English Class. In 1977 Allen released his fourth film with Keaton, Annie Hall; a clearly autobiographical portrait of the couple's real-life romance, it was a landmark, a bittersweet, soul-searching tale that brought a new level of sophistication to the film comedy form. Not only did the film itself win an Academy Award for Best Picture, but Keaton garnered Best Actress honors; that same year she also headlined the controversial drama Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Two more films with Allen, 1978's Bergman-esque Interiors and the 1979 masterpiece Manhattan, followed; however, when the couple separated, Keaton began a romance with Warren Beatty, with whom she co-starred in the 1981 epic Reds, earning a Best Actress nomination.

Continuing to pursue more dramatic projects, she next co-starred in 1982's Shoot the Moon, followed by a pair of box-office disappointments, The Little Drummer Girl and Mrs. Soffel. Crimes of the Heart was a minor success in 1986, and a year later she made her directorial debut with the documentary Heaven. Keaton's next starring role, in the domestic comedy Baby Boom, was a smash, and after close to a decade apart she and Allen reunited for Radio Days, in which she briefly appeared as a singer. Upon starring in 1988's disappointing The Good Mother, she began splitting her time between acting and directing; in between appearing in films including 1990's The Godfather Part III, 1991's hit Father of the Bride, and 1992's telefilm Running Mates, she helmed music videos, after-school specials (1990's The Girl with the Crazy Brother), and TV features (1991's Wildflower) -- she even directed an episode of the David Lynch cult favorite Twin Peaks.

After stepping in for Mia Farrow in Allen's 1993 picture Manhattan Murder Mystery, Keaton essayed the title role in the 1994 TV biopic Amelia Earhart: the Final Flight, and in 1995 made her feature-length directorial debut with the quirky drama Unstrung Heroes. After co-starring with Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn in the 1996 comedy smash The First Wives Club, she earned another Oscar nomination for her work in Marvin's Room; in 1997 she starred in The Only Thrill.

Diane Keaton stars in "And So It Goes." (Clay Enos / Clarius Entertainment) Diane Keaton goes lounge singer in 'And So It Goes': Enraptured by 'The Shadow of Your Smile' Diane Keaton describes herself as a "sloppy" actress.

"I warn people before [filming] I am going to mess up," said the Oscar-winning star. She's been "sloppy" since studying at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York in the 1960s with Sanford Meisner, who emphasized a natural style. "The main thing that Sanford Meisner gave me — not really just for acting but life — is just be in the moment," she said. Her latest director, Rob Reiner, appreciated the approach. "She told me, 'I don't act, I am just who I am,'" said Reiner. "She basically takes the dialogue and makes it her own. Her instincts are just so good — it creates no false moments." She basically takes the dialogue and makes it her own. Her instincts are just so good — it creates no false moments. — Director Rob Reiner In "And So It Goes," which opened Friday, Keaton plays Leah, a widow attempting a second start in life as a lounge singer. The only problem is, she gets so emotional performing songs that she rarely makes it through a set. Her curmudgeonly neighbor, a widower named Oren played by Michael Douglas, drives everyone in their four-plex crazy.

Opposites, naturally, attract. "And So It Goes" marks the first time that Keaton, 68, has worked with Douglas and Reiner, although she auditioned for a long-forgotten 1971 youth drama, "Summertree," that starred Douglas, with Reiner as his best friend. She didn't get the gig. A scene from 'And So It Goes' Clay Enos Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton in a scene from the movie "And So It Goes." Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton in a scene from the movie "And So It Goes." (Clay Enos) It was worth the wait — Keaton's happy she's working with Douglas at this point in their careers. "In a way, for me, he's never been more attractive," Keaton mused. "He's really grown into himself." Aging, or more precisely, aging well, is a topic on Keaton's mind these days. Her new book, "Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty," deals with the possibilities and problems of getting older.

Keaton wrote "Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty" because she thought it would be interesting "to do a group of essays on subjects that really concern women at basically my age and a little younger and what they go through and how sometimes what appears to be wrong turns out to be right for a lot of us." On a recent bright afternoon, Keaton was sitting at a corner table at a restaurant at Shutters in Santa Monica. She was dressed in her quintessential Keaton attire: black hat; tinted glasses; black skirt; a crisp, white, long-sleeve blouse; and a black jacket that was tightly cinched by a large black belt. The fashionista, director, photographer and famed house flipper was funny, honest and endearing during the conversation — and surprisingly down-to-earth. Which is exactly how she comes across in "Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty." In the book, Keaton discusses her insecurities — she once wore a bobby pin on her nose to fix its shape — raising her two adopted children — Dexter, 18, and Duke, 13 — her obsession with flipping homes and her fashion icons, including Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn.

She noted that in her family, she and her sisters were "insecure. I think women are in general, especially about appearance and how we handle ourselves in the world. I was just writing to people liked-minded who have these issues." Keaton related in the book how she was in the running for the 1971 romantic NBC detective series "McMillan & Wife," starring Rock Hudson, for the role of his young wife. But they weren't thrilled with her eyes. "The eyes go down," Keaton pointed out. "They tried to get them up." That role went to Susan Saint James.

Shortly after, Keaton was cast as Kay in Francis Ford Coppola's landmark 1972 Oscar-winner "The Godfather." A few years later, Keaton earned a lead actress Oscar and became a fashion icon in Woody Allen's 1977 best picture masterpiece "Annie Hall." Losing "McMillan & Wife," Keaton said with a wide smile, "turned out to be OK." (And she never fixed her eyes.) The men in her life — Warren Beatty, with whom she appeared in 1981's "Reds," her "Godfather" trilogy leading man Al Pacino and especially Allen — are also a big part of the book. She met Allen when he cast her in 1969 in the Broadway production of "Play It Again, Sam." "I had a crush on him right from the beginning," noted Keaton, who reprised her role for the 1972 film version. "He was perfect for me." Besides "Annie Hall" and "Play It Again, Sam," they worked together on several more films including 1973's "Sleeper" and 1979's "Manhattan." She remains very close to Allen.

Earlier this year, she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes for the notoriously awards-phobic filmmaker. Shortly after that, she was mentioned in the open letter in the New York Times in which Dylan Farrow alleged that adopted father Allen had sexually abused her when she was a child. "You knew me when I was a little girl, Diane Keaton," Farrow wrote. "Have you forgotten me?" "I feel really sad about the situation," said Keaton, who continues to support Allen but won't talk about Farrow's allegations. "What can I say?" Reiner had long wanted to work with Keaton, and he thought pairing her with his good friend Douglas, whom he had directed in 1995's "The American President," would create good on-screen chemistry. "Just the idea of the two of them in a romantic comedy made a lot of sense to me," said Reiner. Because he and Keaton both live in Los Angeles, they had several meetings on "And So It Goes." "It was her idea to be a singer," said Reiner. "I loved the idea of somebody having another career at that stage in their life.

It also resonated for me because my mother was 65 when she started her singing career." Keaton's haunting rendition of "The Shadow of Your Smile," the Oscar-winning standard of memory and lost love, is one of the highlights of "And So It Goes." Leah sings the song in her club act after she thinks Oren is moving away. "She thought she could never fall in love again," said Reiner, who chose the wistful song. "She's opened up a little bit to this guy, and in her mind, he's leaving without ever saying goodbye." And a song, Keaton noted, she was afraid of initially singing. "It was such a big hit," she said. "So pretty, though. I fell in love with it when I started singing it."
