Teeming with all the beauty of an impressionist painting, A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy is one of Woody Allen's lightest and most sensual films. Starring Allen, Mia Farrow (here directed by Allen for the first time), Jose Ferrer, Julie Hagerty, Tony Roberts and Mary Steenburgen, A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy is a dazzling, uproarious masterpiece from America's best comic film-maker. Love is in the air and magic is afoot when turn-of-the-century inventor Andrew and his wife Adrian host a country wedding for the pompous Dr. Leopold and his young fiancee Ariel. But when Andrew's best friend, the randy Dr. Maxwell Jordan, and his lusty nurse Dulcy turn up for the festivities, the stage is soon set for thwarted seductions, mismatched mates and magical mayhem, as Maxwell falls for Ariel, Ariel seduces Andrew, Leopold beds Dulcy - and the bride and groom say "I do" to everyone... except each other.
