Scoop

Scoop is the latest Woody Allen production and combines elements of his earlier work including Manhatten Murder Mystery, and the more recent Match Point, plus of course Scarlett Johansson. The result is a quirky, yet fun, murder whodunit set in London and the neighbouring home counties.

Allen plays a touring magician, (often surprised when a trick seems to work!) who meets Scarlett when she takes part in his show. Together they have to solve a murder working only with scant clues supplied by a recently deceased journalist who has managed to return from the after life. Anyone who has enjoyed Allen’s neurotic banter in past films will not be disappointed!
