Visible crew/equipment: At the very beginning of the scene where Alvy and Annie are arguing over Annie's adult education teacher, David, and Annie is getting into the cab, a film crew member is visible up the sidewalk, just above the roof of the cab. As the scene starts, he drops his arm as a timing signal to the old woman carrying a grocery bag to begin her walk into the scene, where, seconds later, Alvy turns to ask her a question. (00:52:25)
Annie Hall (1977)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Woody Allen
Starring: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Carol Kane, Tony Roberts
Alvie sees Annie off and reminenses over their time together. He likens relationships to a man who goes to his psychiatrist and says, "Doc, you've got to help me, my brother thinks he's a chicken." The psychiatrists asks him why doesn't he turn him it and the man says, "I would, but I need the eggs".

This correction makes no sense in attempting to invalidate the trivia. If this meant to add to the trivia, create a new trivia entry.
At a guess their point is that by turning the box to increase the effect, it shows it wasn't an accident, but intentional.
Question: I couldn't understand the joke in the beginning ("In such small portions"). Can someone explain it to me, please.
Answer: Woody says "There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly." The 2nd old lady is complaining about the small portions of terrible food, as if large portions of terrible food would be better.
Answer: It's a buffet.
