Woody's Uncle Marty

This is the Thanksgiving scene from ANNIE HALL where a boisterously loud command is given: "Alvy, Pass the salt!"
The actor is Martin Rosenblatt. In the opening scene of RADIO DAYS, Martin's house was burglarized. In real life, Martin lived in Whitestone. It was in that house where I ate my first bagel but three houses away, Martin's younger son ate his first bowl of spaghetti that did not have ketchup in it.

My family sold the house in 1981. Martin's older son still owns their family home. His father had a starring role in this wonderful film short about...bagels.
