Woody Allen's black comedy about an esteemed New York ophthalmologist (Martin Landau) whose affair with a flight attendant (Anjelica Huston) puts the careful construct of his life in jeopardy. As he contemplates a permanent solution to his problems, we also meet a struggling documentary filmmaker (Allen) who considers selling out by making a documentary about a Hollywood jackass (Alan Alda) with the situation further complicated by the appearance of an entrancing TV producer (Mia Farrow).
