Event Details

For the month of July, we will be showing movies starring Walter Matthau.  Matthau was a star of the stage and screen for over 4 decades and won an Oscar, 2 Tonys, and a Golden Globe during that span.  He specialized in playing curmudgeonly slobs that often played off of a contrasting character.

On this night, we are watching Walter in Elaine May's 1971 film "A New Leaf" also starring Elaine May and Jack Weston.  It is rated G.

Henry Graham lives the life of a playboy. When his lawyer tells him that his lifestyle has consumed all his funds, Henry must avoid climbing down the social ladder. He plans to marry wealthy scientist Henrietta Lowell - and kill her.
