Crimes and Misdemeanors is a 1989 Dramedy written by, directed by, and starring Woody Allen. It's one of his most critically-acclaimed works.The film follows two stories: the "A" story (the Crime) is about Judah Rosenthal (Martin Landau), a successful ophthalmologist and active philanthropist, struggling to break free of a mistress who wants him to leave his family for her. The "B" story (the Misdemeanor) is about Cliff Stern (Allen), a documentary filmmaker who finds popular culture and materialism repellent. Rosenthal is forced to make a fateful decision by his insistent mistress Dolores (Anjelica Huston), while Stern, hopeful to complete his masterwork, agrees to profile his brother-in-law Lester (Alan Alda), a wealthy and successful television producer Stern considers shallow and crass, and finds himself falling for Lester's assistant Halley (Mia Farrow). | |

This Loser Is You | |
| Crimes and Misdemeanors / int_15184afb | comment |
This Loser Is You: Cliff is a posterboy for the idealistic artist who lacks the maturity and practical sense to realize that he can't support himself financially with his own pet projects. He quit his previous job as a newsreel editor and intentionally sabotaged an opportunity reluctantly given to him by his brother-in-law, and all he has to show for his stubbornness and lack of income is an honorable mention at a local film festival. In the end, Cliff's pig-headed, misplaced ideals put him in a place in life where nobody except his twelve year-old niece likes his company or takes him seriously. | |

Brutal Honesty | |
| Crimes and Misdemeanors / int_23ff95fb | comment |
Brutal Honesty: Lester outright tells Cliff that he only is hiring him out of pity and as a favor to his sister. Almost all interactions between Judah and Jack. Jack bluntly declares that his brother only calls him when needs some dirty work done. | |

Body Motifs | |
| Crimes and Misdemeanors / int_58d31a8b | comment |
Body Motifs: The eyes. Judah's father, a religious man, was fond of saying that "The eyes of God are on us always" when Judah was a boy. Judah grew up and became an opthamologist. Judah's rabbi went blind right about the same time Judah had Dolores killed. When Judah visited the scene of the crime, he found Dolores dead but with her eyes still open. He took a moment to close them. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Crimes and Misdemeanors / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: While Lester is indeed an arrogant and narcissistic egotist, he's also spot-on when he calls Cliff a loser and says that he needs to grow up. Cliff's attitude has made it all but impossible for him to be gainfully employed. Cliff's wife is a cold and unpleasant woman who treats her husband with utter contempt and disgust. At least some of her contempt towards Cliff is justified by his lack of gainful employment and general inability to get his act together. | |

Idiot Ball: Cliff is offered a high-paying, high-profile job by his arrogant but well-connected brother-in-law Lester to create a hagiographic documentary that could potentially lead to more lucrative work. Instead, he deliberately sabotages it by comparing the egocentric Lester to Mussolini, getting himself fired. | |

Villain with Good Publicity | |
| Crimes and Misdemeanors / int_87bb6874 | comment |
Villain with Good Publicity: Judah hired a hitman to get rid of his mistress and probably embezzled money from the charity that he ran to cover his own debts. Judah keeps his dark side well-hidden, so he's adored by his family and remains highly respected by his colleagues and local community. Lester is a sleazeball, womanizing, tyrannical TV producer with vapid "insights" into comedy. But he's got a "closet full of Emmys" is giving lectures to Ivy League schools, classes are taught analyzing his work, and he has a documentary being made about him. | |

| Crimes and Misdemeanors / int_b17f6a27 | comment |
I Did What I Had to Do: Judah uses this as a personal mantra as an excuse for killing Dolores. Jack calls him out on it on several points: Judah could have avoided everything by taking responsibility for his actions, and when Judah goes through handwringing, Jack dryly tells him he obviously has no problem with killing Dolores, since why else would he ask a mob connected brother to help him with the problem that if exposed, exposes Jack's criminal connections? Jack basically says Judah feels bad about not feeling bad about what he's doing. | |

Spiritual Antithesis | |
| Crimes and Misdemeanors / int_ce2969d8 | comment |
Spiritual Antithesis: To Woody's previous film Hannah and Her Sisters. Hannah ends optimistically with life being worth living even if you will never know the answers to the greatest questions. In contrast this film ends with the brutal and shocking nihilism that as Roger Ebert put it, "virtue is punished and evil doing is rewarded." | |

Serial Numbers Filed Off: invoked Lester is basically Larry Gelbart, whom Woody Allen and Alan Alda had both worked with and weren't enamored of. The quotes Lester makes like "Comedy is tragedy plus time"? Gelbart constantly prattled those aphorisms on the set of M*A*S*H and elsewhere. Also falls under the No Celebrities Were Harmed trope. | |

Gallows Humor: Honestly, a story about a man whom Cliff's sister meets through a personal ad and debases her and might have raped her shouldn't be funny - but it's hilarious. | |

Death Seeker: Arguably Dolores. She repeatedly threatens to ruin Judah's life both personally (by revealing their affair to his wife) and professionally (by letting his partners know of his embezzlement). Assuming she knows of his gangster brother, it's not hard to guess what he might resort to. Could also qualify as an Idiot Ball if she wasn't deliberately seeking death. | |
