Continuity mistake: After tennis, when Annie is driving Alvy uptown in her VW, she spots a parking space on the street and quickly pulls in behind a parked, driverless, red station wagon. Immediately, in the next shot, as they are opening the car doors to get out, they are behind a blue car. (00:27:25)
Annie Hall (1977)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Woody Allen
Starring: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Carol Kane, Tony Roberts
Alvie sees Annie off and reminenses over their time together. He likens relationships to a man who goes to his psychiatrist and says, "Doc, you've got to help me, my brother thinks he's a chicken." The psychiatrists asks him why doesn't he turn him it and the man says, "I would, but I need the eggs".

Alvy Singer: You know, I don't think I could take a mellow evening because I - I don't respond well to mellow. You know what I mean? I have a tendency to - if I get too mellow, I - I ripen and then rot, you know.
Trivia: In the scene in which Alvy and Annie are watching people in the park and Alvy comments, "Oh, there goes the winner of the Truman Capote Look-Alike Contest," the passer by is actually Truman Capote, in an un-credited cameo.
Question: I couldn't understand the joke in the beginning ("In such small portions"). Can someone explain it to me, please.
Answer: It's a buffet.
Answer: Woody says "There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly." The 2nd old lady is complaining about the small portions of terrible food, as if large portions of terrible food would be better.
