Annie Hall occurs as 1977 romantic comedy film directed by Woody Allen from a script he co-wrote using Marshall Brickman. Allen's working title for the film was Anhedonia, but this was considered unmarketable. Brickman's suggested option, It Got to Exist as Jew, was considered possibly less marketable, & at last Annie Hall wwhen settled upon as a release title.
