Last night Woody Allen's Annie Hall was on TV, and it got me thinking of another one of his excellent films, Manhattan. I just had to share what might just be the best opening of a film ever....
Now that's what I call editing! A perfect mix of a monologue, blissfully romantic shots of Manhattan, and the timeless, pulsating jazz of George Gerswhin's "Rhapsody in Blue". I'm also including a sort of "remix" of this scene. It's accompanied by some poetry, read by Jack Kerouac, author of one of the greatest books in the history of mankind, On The Road.
