“A Rainy Day in New York” is yet another neurotic comedy-drama about an anxious hero who adores Cole Porter and black-and-white movies
WOODY ALLEN’S new film will be available to stream in Britain from June 5th—but perhaps “new-ish film” would be more accurate. “A Rainy Day in New York” was shot in the autumn of 2017 and finished in 2018, so it has taken two years for it to be picked up and distributed by Signature Entertainment, a British company. There is still no American release scheduled.
In fact the delay has less to do with the film’s shortcomings than with the director’s reputation. Amazon signed a four-picture deal with Mr Allen in 2017 but decided against distributing “A Rainy Day in New York” the following year, claiming that his comments on the #MeToo movement’s potential “witch-hunt atmosphere” had rendered him a commercial non-starter. Mr Allen sued Amazon for breach of contract in February 2019, and the two parties settled out of court last November.
One sign of this toxicity was that “Apropos of Nothing” itself was dropped by its American publisher, Hachette, three days after its release was announced in March. This was related to the fact that Hachette also published “Catch and Kill”, Mr Farrow’s account of his investigation into the sexual abuse perpetrated by Harvey Weinstein, a film producer. Another sign was that various actors dissociated themselves from Mr Allen.
