Feature Film: A New Leaf

A New Leaf Movie Still

What’s zany? It’s Buster Keaton losing his swimsuit in a crowded swimming pool. William Powell and Myrna Loy tossing off zingers while tossing down drinks. Walter Matthau wiping off and tidying up a sticky Elaine May. Barbara Streisand and Ryan O’Neal on a delivery bike careening down a San Francisco hill.

 

Come for four weeks of Zany Comedies: An Afternoon Film Series on Tuesdays at 2 p.m.

 

On October 15, enjoy A New Leaf (1971), featuring Walter Matthau and Elaine May. Penniless playboy Henry Graham romances clumsy heiress Henrietta Lowell with the intention of marrying her, killing her, and inheriting her wealth.

 

This event is free and open to all.
