    One of Woody Allen's best films, Crimes and Misdemeanors explores divergent views of what constitutes a moral life, and where and how to find guidance for living it. Can Judah (Martin Landau), a wealthy ophthalmologist, live with hiring a hitman to settle a family problem created by his mistress, Dolores (Anjelica Huston)? Can indie filmmaker Cliff (Woody Allen) continue to make an ego-boosting doc about his narcissistic brother-in-law, Lester (Alan Alda)? How and why does the beautiful, intelligent Halley (Mia Farrow) choose between them? A rabbi, a brilliant academic—are they of any real help? Nominated for 16 major awards, winner of four, this thought-provoking classic also features Jerry Orbach, Claire Bloom, Sam Waterston, Joanna Gleason, Frances Conroy, Daryl Hannah, and a Professor of Clinical Psychology, Martin S. Bergmann. A lively discussion will follow in which we will seek to find the correct answers.
