After five years, nearly 90-year-old Woody Allen returns to his beloved New York to film this 2019 American romantic comedy movie 'A Rainy Day in New York'. Woody Allen seems to have a special fondness for rainy days, and 'A Rainy Day in New York' is not the first time he has used rainy scenes to express romance. In his earlier film 'Midnight in Paris', there is a line: 'Actually, Paris in the rain is the most beautiful.' Later, in the movie 'To Rome with Love', the protagonist says, 'I think storms are romantic.' For Woody Allen, rainy days are not gloomy or sad at all; instead, they carry a subtle yet intoxicating romantic beauty.

The film tells the story of the female lead, Ashleigh, who secures an opportunity to interview a famous director in Manhattan, and thus plans a romantic journey full of New York charm with the male lead, Gatsby, who also loves arts and culture. But plans can never keep up with changes; the trip falls through due to unexpected hiccups, and the young couple's love faces an unprecedented crisis.
