-About.com
Crimes and Misdemeanors follows two main characters: Judah Rosenthal (Martin Landau), a successful ophthalmologist, and Cliff Stern (Woody Allen), a struggling documentary filmmaker. Judah is having an affair with a flight attendant, Dolores Paley (Anjelica Huston). After it becomes clear to her that Judah will not end his marriage, Dolores attempts to inform his wife, Miriam (Claire Bloom), of their affair by writing a letter to her, which is intercepted and destroyed by Judah. However, Delores continues to put pressure on him with her threats of revealing his secret. She is also aware of some questionable financial moves Judah has made. Desperate, Judah turns to his brother, Jack (Jerry Orbach), who hires a hit man to kill Dolores. Later, before her corpse is discovered, Judah goes to her apartment in order to cover his tracks. He is now stricken with guilt and turns to the religious teachings he had rejected, believing for the first time that a just God is watching him.
Meanwhile, Cliff has been hired by his brother-in-law, Lester (Alan Alda), a successful television producer, who wants a documentary celebrating himself. Cliff grows to actively despise him. While filming the documentary, Cliff falls in love with Halley (Mia Farrow), Lester's associate producer. At the time, Cliff is upset about his failing marriage to his wife Wendy (Joanna Gleason). After the not-so-complimentary documentary is made, Halley leaves for London, where Lester is offering her a producing job. When she returns several months later, Cliff finds out that she and Lester are engaged.

Landau is best known for his roles in The X-files, Sleepy Hollow, The Joy Riders, Shiner, The Majestic, Hollywood Homicide, Entourage, Without a Trace, In Plain Sight, Intersection, The Neon Empire, Empire State, Treasure Island, and many other films and television shows.
