I've only seen Woody Allen's Manhattan a few times before watching it again this past weekend, but all those times I seriously thought (or assumed) the 17-year-old character "Tracy" (Mariel Hemingway) is a freshman in college (likely NYU or Columbia). But this time I actually heard her tell Diane Keaton's character that she goes to high school. Maybe I selectively failed to hear that "high" part, instead mishearing it simply as "school."
I don't necessarily like the film any less now, and I can't say I think Woody Allen's character is necessarily any creepier, but I do really wonder how a high school student was allowed to sleep over at her 40-something boyfriend's apartment. Or was it one of those classic "I'm sleeping at a friend's house" things? Either way, I'd love to have gotten a glimpse of Tracy's home life.
