Editing Annie Hall (section)

====Jewish identity====
Singer is identified with the stereotypical neurotic Jewish male, and the differences between Alvy and Annie are often related to the perceptions and realities of Jewish identity. Vincent Brook notes that "Alvy dines with the [[WASP]]-y Hall family and imagines that they must see him as a [[Hasidic Jew]], complete with [[payot]] (ear locks) and a large black hat."<ref>{{harvnb|Brook |2006|p=22}}</ref> Robert M. Seltzer and Norman J. Cohen highlight the scene in which Annie remarks that Annie's grandmother "hates Jews. She thinks they just make money, but she's the one. Is she ever, I'm telling you.", revealing the hypocrisy in her grandmother's stereotypical American view of Jews by arguing that "no stigma attaches to the love of money in America".<ref>{{harvnb|Seltzer|Cohen|1995|p=91}}</ref> Bernd Herzogenrath also considers Allen's joke, "I would like to but we need the eggs", to the doctor at the end when he suggests putting him in a mental institution, to be a paradox of not only the persona of the urban neurotic Jew but also of the film itself.<ref name="Herzogenrath">{{harvnb|Herzogenrath|2009|p=97}}</ref>
