A
Woody Allen Manhattan mosaic,
Hannah and Her Sisters concerns the lives, loves, and infidelities among a tightly-knit artistic clan.
Hannah (
Mia Farrow) regularly meets with her sisters
Holly (
Dianne Wiest) and
Lee (
Barbara Hershey) to discuss the week's events. It's what they don't always tell each other that forms the film's various subplots.
Hannah is married to accountant and financial planner
Elliot (
Michael Caine), who carries a torch for
Lee, who in turn lives with pompous Soho artist
Frederick (
Max Von Sydow). Meanwhile,
Holly, a neurotic actress and eternal loser in love, dates TV producer
Mickey (
Allen), who used to be married to
Hannah and spends most of the film convinced that he's about to die. Appearing in supporting parts are
Lloyd Nolan and
Maureen O'Sullivan (
Farrow's real mom), as the eternally bickering husband-and-wife acting team who are the parents of
Hannah and her sisters. The film begins and ends during the family's traditional Thanksgiving dinner, filmed in
Farrow's actual New York apartment. Unbilled cameos are contributed by
Sam Waterston as one of
Wiest's brief amours and
Tony Roberts as one of
Allen's friends.
Hannah and Her Sisters collected Oscars for
Michael Caine,
Dianne Wiest, and
Woody Allen's screenplay.
