"Fear of Separation. It’s an interesting psychological phenomenon. I had to go to Washington once when I was married, and even though I was the one leaving, I got sick. Yet when I returned, my wife threw up."
ALLAN FELIX

Allan Felix loves being married! So does his wife, but unfortunately not to Allan. Dick wants to help his newly divorced and desperate best friend but is currently fending off his forth bankruptcy, so implores his wife Linda to re-launch Allan onto New York's single scene and bring him up to date with the rules of the dating game.

However, a series of disastrous dates looking for 'The One' leads Allan to realise that she has been in front of him the whole time. Unfortunately she is already 'The One' to another man...Dick.

A hilarious romantic comedy from the master of wit who wrote 'Manhattan' and 'Annie Hall'

AuthorWoody Allen

Woody Allen was born Allen Konigsberg in Brooklyn, New York, on December 1, 1935. He was for a time a stand-up comedian and by the age of 15 was selling one-liners to gossip columns. In 1965 he wrote 'What's New, Pussycat' and the next year directed 'What's Up, Tiger Lily?', his first film. Allen has received 14 Academy Award nominations for 'Best Original Screenplay', more than any other writer.

A troubled individual who has had therapy on-and-off for many years, Allen often write autobiographical roles in his plays and films and has frequently cast himself in them.
