...Bill Stern; a smarmy counselor like Mr. Anthony; and, of course, a superhero for boys, the "Masked Avenger." The slender thread holding this part of the movie together recounts the rise from cigarette girl to airwaves gossip star of Sally White (played with her customary comic poignance by Mia Farrow...
...CENTRAL CHARACTER who ties several of these vignettes together is an aspiring actress named Sally White, played with characteristic grace and believability by--surprise, surprise--Mia Farrow. Even if Allen hadn't been shacking up with her, he would have been wise to cast her.

Eventually, each sister has an affair with one of Hannah's men. Elliot begins the roundelay by lurching into a mad pash for the beautiful, cheerful, lost Lee. Perhaps he is weary of Hannah's competence; she is a kind of live...
