Pros: Intriguing look into human character. Cons: none.
This Woody Allen film (from 1989) has got to be one of his best. I admit that I hadn't seen one of his films since the old Annie Hall days. For some reason I had skipped Crimes and Misdemeanors when it first came out. Well, just lately I watched ...
Pros: A near perfect blending of drama and comedy; one of Allen's most accomplished films. Cons: none to be found.
Woody Allen is always able to get great performances from his cast, but perhaps the best performance ever given by a male lead is the one turned in by Martin Landau in 1989's Crimes and Misdemeanors (the worst being, hands down, Kenneth...
The name Woody Allen definitely conjures a definitive image. A neurotic, nerdy, Jewish man with a lot of anxieties and ramblings. Despite those things, Allen remains one of cinema's most beloved directors. While early 1970s films like Love & ...
Pros: highly intelligent humor, compelling story, inventive premise Cons: too literate for its own good

Pros: Smart, Meaningful, Cynical, Often Hilarious Cons: None. This is Woody Allen's best film!
Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors is a film with a message: God is blind to our sins, and to our virtues as well. The righteous often go unrewarded, and the wicked often go unpunished.
Pros: thought provoking, brilliantly acted by all, funny, intriguing Cons: heady - not a light comedy
If you could kill somebody that was threatening your happiness and get away with it, would you do it? Or, would your conscience finally catch up to you?
I have often thought that the reason that someone tells you when they have done something...
Pros: Two equally fascinating plots intersect in a thoughtful, existential movie Cons: None
In the vein of his earlier Hannah and Her Sisters, Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors covers the familiar territories of adultery and integrity and the spectrum of compromise between the two. The film centers around a doctor (Martin Landau) who has...
Pros: Screenplay, acting, great mix of comedy and drama. Cons: None.
A masterful hybrid of comedy and drama, this film is one of the few on record that can use verbal humor while simultaneously probing the nature of morality and faith. In addition, the very nature of success, both of the romantic and artistic variety, is...
Pros: Great, entertaining movie which presents many interesting ideas about life Cons: none
The movie “Crimes and Misdemeanors” displays the irony behind living one’s life by a strict set of moral standards. Its characters prove, in essence, that one who lives a moral life benefits everyone but himself. It does, however, raise the question of...
Allen's greatest accomplishment by dl77136,May 17 '05
Pros: Fantastic film. Nearly flawless. Cons: none
Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors is one of the greatest films of all time. It showcases an incredible performance from Martin Landau. Had Denzel Washington not emerged as an acting superpower in "Glory", Landau would have easily brought home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. As he has done in many of his serious films when dealing with harrowing issues, Allen provides dazzling scenes of comic relief. In particular, Alan Alda is laugh-out-loud funny as Woody's egotistical and aloof producer brother-in-law. For any real film buff this complex and bittersweet comedy/drama/thriller is essential viewing material.
CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS is Woody Allen's most mature most profound film. Martin Landau plays Judah Rosenthal a successful ophthalmologist having an af...More at Family Video
