A middle-aged couple, Larry and Carol, live a comfortable life in Manhattan. When their elderly neighbour suddenly dies, Carol becomes convinced that it was murder. Their amateur investigation escalates into a full-blown mystery. Woody Allen's enjoyable dark comedy mixes humour, wit, and suspense, offering a light-hearted take on Rear Window. Diane Keaton gives a delightful lead performance. Allen co-scripted with Marshall Brickman.
