This film has been a success in art and business, and won the Oscar for Best Film. Keaton also won the Oscar for Best Actress for her outstanding performance in the film.

Keaton wore strange clothes in Anne Hall, mainly men's clothes, including ties, vests, slacks and fedora. Most of the clothes in the film are Keaton's own.
