Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Woody Allen was going through his off-screen scandal with Mia Farrow when Manhattan Murder Mystery was produced, so Diane Keaton was brought in to fill the role intended for Farrow. The reunion of Keaton and Allen only improves this already enjoyable Allen comedy, since they're so comfortable with each other's neuroses that they're delightfully convincing as a married couple who suspect their neighbor of murdering his wife. Actually, it's Keaton who obsesses about the possible foul play; Woody just wants them to mind their own business. But pretty soon they've recruited their friends (Alan Alda, Anjelica Huston) as amateur sleuths, and the movie turns into a Nancy Drew mystery for sophisticated Manhattanites. With a typical abundance of Woody Allen witticism and some memorable comic suspense, this engaging throwback to vintage Hollywood mysteries is guaranteed to please even the most noncommittal Woody Allen fans, and the Allen-Keaton chemistry is, as always, a genuine pleasure. --Jeff Shannon

- If you want a happy movie, go see Manhattan Murder Mystery.
The reunion of Keaton and Allen as a married couple, Larry and Carol Lipton, trying to figure out if their new next door neighbor has committed murder of his wife is their last film together, and IMO, the funniest. Angelica Houston and Alan Alda provide additional comic relief as friends helping the couple solve the mystery. For me, Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) is the most delightful and enjoyable of all Allen's films and I never laugh as much and hard as when I re-watch this comedy/whodunit. ... Read More

- Clever and Quite Funny
After paying tribute to the masters (Bergman), Woody Allen went back to more familiar territory - with a delightful twist.

Think of it as Annie Hall Gets To Play Nancy Drew. Whatever, Manhattan Murder Mystery is a short, fast, and very funny, movie. It has an all-star cast (Alan Alda, Angelica Houston)and reunites Woody with Diane Keaton. The dialogue is swift, laugh-out-loud funny and the plot is entertaining. More important, adults act and talk like adults. Without being stuffy, ... Read More

- Woody Allen Light
The great thing about Woody Allen is his life is never far from his art and the problem with Woody Allen is that his life is never far from his art. Manhattan Murder Mystery was filmed when Farrow and Allen were breaking up and by that time Allen had already been long involved with Soon Yi. Manhattan Murder Mystery reflects his moving to a, ummm shall we say, less mature viewpoint.

On the surface, Manhattan Murder Mystery is nothing more than a light comedy about two sophisticated Manhattanites ... Read More

- good but not great
It is another decent outing by Woody Allen, but it does not reach the heights of his masterpieces.
