There are movies we love, and then there are movies that somehow become part of our lives. Manhattan Murder Mystery has always been one of ours.
Starring Woody Allen, the beloved Diane Keaton, Alan Alda, Anjelica Huston, and a wonderful ensemble cast, this 1993 comedy-mystery is, for us, one of the quintessential New York movies. The apartments, restaurants, sidewalks, late-night conversations, friendships, humor, and unmistakable rhythm of the city make New York feel like another character in the film.
We originally recorded this episode six years ago but never released it. With the anniversary of September 11 approaching, we found ourselves feeling especially nostalgic—and a little melancholy—for New York and for the city as we remember it. It felt like the right time to finally bring this conversation out of the archives.
So pour yourself a glass of champagne and join us as we revisit a movie filled with mystery, wit, romance, friendship, and one of our favorite cities in the world.
Here’s to Manhattan Murder Mystery. And here’s to New York—then, now, and always.
Kisses,
Francesca & CoCo
