Woody Allen's 'Blue Jasmine' plot revealed

After months of secrecy, Sony Pictures Classics has finally released a trailer and official plot synopsis for Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine."

The film looks a little more serious than Allen's past efforts, despite a cast that includes the comedians Louis C.K. and Andrew Dice Clay. Alec Baldwin plays what might be a Madoff-style businessman, and Cate Blanchett as his suddenly broke wife. Also starring are Sally Hawkins, Bobby Cannavale and Peter Saarsgard.

Here's the full and rather lengthy plot synopsis, according to Sony Pictures Classics:
