It is a bittersweet romantic comedy of modern contemporary love and urban relationships (a great successor to classic Hollywood films such as <a href="http://www.filmsite.org/awfu.html"><em>The Awful Truth (1937)</em></a> and <em><a href="http://www.filmsite.org/phil.html">The Philadelphia Story (1940)</a></em>), that explores the interaction of past and present, and the rise and fall of Allen's own challenging, ambivalent New York romance with his opposite - an equally-insecure, shy, flighty Midwestern WASP female (who blossoms out in a Pygmalion-like story).
