    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Woody Allen's parents, who were well into their 90s at the time of filming, appear on-screen late in the film. This marked the first time that Martin Konigsberg and Nettie Konigsberg had anything even remotely to do with their son's film career (although they were consistently satirized throughout the years).
    • Quotes
      • Woody Allen: This is Soon-Yi Previn, the notorious Soon-Yi Previn.
    • Crazy credits
      Subtitles credit Letty Aronson and Soon-Li Previn. The band members are credited orally by Woody Allen as he introduces them to an audience. Allen himself is credited by marquees during the trip.
