"September" is a 1987 film written and directed by Woody Allen. Allen's intention of "September" was to be like "a play on film," thus the great number of long takes and few camera effects.

The movie does not feature Allen as an actor, and is one of his straightforward dramatic films. The cast includes Mia Farrow, Sam Waterston, Dianne Wiest, Elaine Stritch, Jack Warden, and Denholm Elliott.

The plot centers around Lane (Farrow), who is recovering in her house in the country. She has been befriended by local widower, Howard (Elliott). Her friend Stephanie (Wiest) is spending the month with her. And her mother, Diane (Stritch), and stepfather (Warden) come to visit. It is a story of unrequited love, betrayal, selfishness, and loneliness.

Filming

Allen shot the film twice. It originally starred Sam Shepard as Peter (after Christopher Walken shot a few scenes, but was determined not to be right for the role), Maureen O'Sullivan as Diane, and Charles Durning as Howard. After editing the film he decided to re-write it, re-cast it, and re-shoot it.
