Manhattan Murder Mystery is a 1993 comedy-mystery film directed by Woody Allen. The film follows Larry (Woody Allen) and Carol (Diane Keaton), a middle-aged couple living in Manhattan. They become obsessed with the sudden death of their neighbor's wife after they suspect that her husband may have murdered her.
Larry, a neurotic and hypochondriac writer, initially dismisses Carol's suspicions as crazy. However, as they begin to investigate the death, Larry becomes increasingly convinced that something sinister has happened. They enlist the help of their friends, Ted (Alan Alda) and Marcia (Anjelica Huston), to gather evidence and solve the mystery.
As the group delves deeper into the case, they encounter several quirky characters, including a suspicious doctor, a flirtatious detective, and a mysterious woman who bears a striking resemblance to the deceased neighbor. The investigation takes them on a wild ride through the streets of New York City, from high society parties to seedy underground clubs.
As they get closer to the truth, Larry and Carol's relationship is also tested as they struggle to balance their obsession with the murder and their own personal issues. In the end, the killer is unmasked, and Larry and Carol come to a greater understanding of each other and the fragility of life.
Manhattan Murder Mystery received positive reviews from critics for its witty dialogue, engaging plot, and strong performances from the cast. It was also notable for being Allen and Keaton's first on-screen reunion since their iconic roles in Annie Hall.
