 Annie Hall (1977)
[Allen later directed murder mysteries to satisfy that impulse: Shadows and Fog (1992), and Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) - retooled from this script.] In addition to Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), this was one of his most commercially-successful films (at a budget of $4 million, it brought in a box-office of $40 million).
It was quite a feat that Allen was nominated for directing, writing, and acting for the same film - and won two of the three awards.
The major theme of the film is that there are severe limitations in life (death and loss are the two most prevalent), but that art forms (such as the printed word, films, and plays) have the power to reshape reality and provide some measure of control, thereby compensating for life's limitations.

 Marshall Allen
Biographer John Szwed wasn’t kidding when he called Marshall Allen "the most devoted musician Sun Ra would ever have"; the conservatory-trained alto saxophonist/oboist/flautist has been a key player in the Arkestra since the mid-’50s, only rarely pursuing other projects.
His searing tone and full-bore intensity place him in step with such titans as Ornette Coleman and Albert Ayler — although it should be noted that Allen is stylistically beholden to neither.
Rather, Allen has carved his own niche; he’s as comfortable playing inside as out, and can express both lyrical sentiment and emphatic atonal cries (often in short succession).
