Something wrong?A filmmaker who churned out roughly a film a year for half a century, working the seam between New York neurosis and existential wit - until a custody battle in 1992 brought an abuse allegation that he was never charged for but never escaped.

, Sex alleviates tension. Love causes it.
To you I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.
Love is the answer. But while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.

Born Allan Stewart Konigsberg in November 1935, he started as a comedy writer for Sid Caesar, then refined a fretful intellectual persona in Greenwich Village clubs and pieces for The New Yorker. After slapstick turns like Take the Money and Run and Sleeper, he made Annie Hall in 1977 - a romantic comedy-drama with Diane Keaton that swept four Oscars and sealed him as an auteur of the New Hollywood wave. The decades that followed brought Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanors, and a nearly annual rhythm of films set mostly in New York. His professional and personal relationship with Mia Farrow lasted from 1980 to 1992 and yielded 13 collaborations, ending when he began a relationship with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn; Farrow then accused him of sexually abusing their adopted daughter Dylan. He was never charged, has denied it, married Previn in 1997, and kept making films - Midnight in Paris, Blue Jasmine - into his eighties, holding three Oscars for screenwriting and a filmography longer than most careers.
