Albany Library Film Series: A New Leaf

American Comedy Movie Masterpieces (A Free 5-month Film Series.) Join other film lovers to watch and discuss little-known classics in American film comedy from the 1960s to today. Facilitator: Jeff M. Giordano, film maker and curator for theaters and libraries. Program starta at 5:30pm with intro by Jeff Giordano, film viewing, break, and then discussion. Light refreshments will be available.
February 26: A New Leaf (1971, 102 minutes)
Henry Graham (Walter Matthau) is a man with a problem: he has run through his entire inheritance and is completely unequipped to provide for himself. His childhood guardian, Uncle Harry (a deliciously mean-spirited James Coco), refuses to give him a dime, so Henry devises a plan with the help of his imaginative butler (George Rose) to make his money the old-fashioned way – he can marry it. But he cannot see himself as a happily married man, so he comes up with an even more devious solution… with a temporary loan from his uncle, Henry has six weeks to find a bride and repay the loan; otherwise he must forfeit all his property to his uncle. Henry finally meets his dearly beloved, a clumsy, painfully shy heiress Henrietta Lowell (played by the film’s writer/director Elaine May).
