The 1977 film was directed by and stars Woody Allen as Alvy Singer, a struggling comedian who chronicles the ups and downs of his relationship with Annie (Diane Keaton), who is trying to make it as a singer.
Annie's record producer, who becomes Alvy's romantic rival, is played by singer-songwriter Paul Simon.
The idea of Alvy's house growing up being located underneath a roller coaster didn't come up until the director was looking at locations in Brooklyn and saw a real-life example.
