- TriviaMeryl Streep shot her scenes during breaks in filming Kramer vs. Kramer (1979).
- GoofsIn the first scene at Elaine's, as Isaac is beginning to say something, two people (presumably customers of the restaurant, as it was running while they were shooting) walk in front of the camera. Isaac laughs, and quickly recovers with an impromptu remark about how his girlfriend has to go and do homework.
- Quotes
Isaac Davis: All the times I come over here, I can't understand how you can prefer her to me.
Jill: You can't understand that?
Isaac Davis: No. It's a mystery to me.
Jill: Well, you knew my history when you married me.
Isaac Davis: I know. My analyst warned me, but you were so beautiful that I got another analyst.
- Crazy creditsOne of the very few Woody Allen films to not have traditional opening credits, save the production company bumper (United Artists), and the film title MANHATTAN is seen as a long vertical flashing bright neon sign, located on the side of a New York City building, and is seen for under seven seconds just before Woody Allen narrates his first line.

Featured review
Cult
Addressing various themes such as betrayal, friendship, forbidden love, anger, rancor, misogyny, homosexuality among other aspects, at this point the film is really very good, the very original and very unusual dialogues guarantee the work originality and the brand of the director. .
Despite this previous aspect, I felt that the film, despite being short, is a bit boring because it repeats certain dialogues three or five times, which is really boring.
Furthermore, the character played by Woody is perfectly irritating and controversial. Sometimes pretty funny.
