...filming a documentary that will make Lester look like a philosopher-king among the pompous nitwits who produce prime-time TV. Cliff agrees, but because he tries to turn Lester's story into a truthful expose, the project collapses. Along the way he loses the woman he loves (Mia Farrow), as well as a serious film to which he had been profoundly committed...
...time or emotions. Why then is she drawn to a particular voice from the next room? Probably because change has opened a breach in her defenses, and she recognizes in the speaker a voice she long ago stilled in herself. Actually it belongs to a woman called Hope (Mia Farrow), great with child, great with inchoate dreams and feelings too.

Allen was equally plainspoken about how he felt on becoming a father for the first time. The auteur, 51, said that his longtime girlfriend Mia Farrow, 42, had become pregnant "by accident" and that he has no plans to marry or move in with the actress, who already has eight children of her own. "I think I'll be profoundly wise and generous, liberal, understanding," he deadpanned. "I'd be surprised if I'd be less...
