"This romantic comedy is happening nowadays in New York City," said Stéphane Célérier, head of Mars Films. Distributed by Amazon, "A rainy day in New York" has been completed since 2017 and was originally scheduled to be released in early 2018, which did not happen because of accusations about Woody Allen's past, which resurfaced. . It has also not been posted on Amazon's video platform.
Charges refuted by Woody Allen
Since the beginning of the #MeToo wave, the New York filmmaker has been overtaken by accusations of sexual abuse by his adoptive daughter Dylan in 1992. The lawsuits against him were dropped after two separate investigations of several months, conducted at the time. But Dylan Farrow, supported by her adoptive mother Mia Farrow and her brother Ronan Farrow (#MeToo's star reporter, whose revelations brought down producer Harvey Weinstein), renewed his accusations in early 2018, which Woody Allen has always disproved.
