CLASSICS: Annie Hall

United Artists

Front Row Classics is heading back to the 1970s this month. We're looking at the Best Picture winner of 1977, Annie Hall. This influential romantic comedy was a break through in modern movie making and still casts a giant shadow today. Flashback's Erin McCabe joins Brandon and Eric to discuss the many aspects of the performances, script and the complexity of viewing a Woody Allen film in 2021.

Brandon Davis is the host of Classics and Zone-i-Sodes on the Front Row Network. A true fan of cinema history, Brandon holds the distinction of being the official film historian of the Network.
