Mighty Aphrodite

In this quirky comedy set in Manhattan, Woody Allen plays Lenny Weinrib, a sportswriter who adopts a baby boy named Max, only to become obsessed with finding the child's biological mother. When he discovers that Max is a genius, Lenny becomes determined to reform his birth mother, Linda Ash, a kindhearted prostitute and porn star, into a more wholesome life. With a Greek chorus chimes in to relate the plot to Greek mythology, this offbeat romantic comedy explores themes of identity, love, and redemption amidst the bustling streets of Manhattan.
