The film features the music of George Gershwin including his famous piece, 'Rhapsody in Blue', which has been said to have inspired the movie. In a discussion with 'Silvio Bizio', Woody Allen said that the picture \"evolved from the music. I was listening to a record album of overtures from famous George Gershwin shows, and I thought 'This would be a beautiful thing to make a movie in black-and-white, you know, and make a romantic movie\".
In an interview with 'The Reeler', director of photography Gordon Willis said of this film: \"After the completion of Annie Hall (1977) we simply proceeded to shoot Manhattan. Woody Allen felt New York should be in black-and-white... we both did. I pushed for anamorphic (widescreen) because I like the graphics.... thought it would be a very good combination for the picture........ Widescreen.... black-and-white. I think we talked about shooting it at lunch one day. We both like the same things..... it was an easy decision\".
This was the first film directed by Woody Allen to be shot in black-and-white, and to be shot using the widescreen (2.35:1) anamorphic Panavision process. This was also the the first film to be released on home video only in widescreen. At the time, VHS had the television standard Aspect Ratio of 1.37:1 (4:3) requiring large black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen (pillar-boxed). Allen wanted home-video viewers to experience the full image exactly as seen in cinemas. Zooming the original 2.35:1 image to exactly fit the 1.37:1 (4:3) television screen permanently deletes 43 percent of the image. The blu-ray release has the full image exactly as seen in cinemas. The DVD release converts the aspect ratio from 2.35:1 to 1.78:1, which crops the original image on the left and right, cutting off 24 percent of the image.
This is the first of several black-and-white films Woody Allen directed between the late 1970s and early-mid 1980s. The others are Stardust Memories (1980), Zelig (1983), and Broadway Danny Rose (1984). Allen's next black-and-white film, Shadows and Fog (1991), was made seven years later.
Studio United Artists originally had concerns about letting Woody Allen make a black-and-white picture due to the form's lack of commercial potential but UA executives eventually relented and allowed Allen to make a B&W film. 59ce067264
