Finally, Elaine May’s incredible, hilarious, dark comedy A NEW LEAF makes its Brattle debut. Long unavailable in decent film prints, A NEW LEAF features an impeccable performance by Walter Matthau as an old-money New Yorker who has spent himself broke and is on the hunt for a wealthy woman that he can marry and knock-off. Enter Henrietta Lowell (played by May herself), a shy botany professor who also happens to be fabulously wealthy and an absolute klutz. [NH] Brattle debut
1971 • dir Elaine May w/Walter Matthau, Elaine May, Jack Weston, George Rose, James Coco, Doris Roberts • 102 min • DCP
