This week we stayed in the '70s, but moved onto comedy with Elaine May's directorial debut, A New Leaf. This riches to rags film stars a young(er) Walter Matthau scheming to wed the bookish and oblivious Henrietta, played by May, in order to reclaim his wealth. The Crit Club was somewhat divided on this airy screwball comedy of sorts, so come hear who settled nicely into this comedy and who wanted to LEAF it behind. (sorrysorrysorry)
