A New Leaf (1971)

In the shadowy, yet humorous landscape of the 70s, the film "A New Leaf" presents the tale of Henry Graham, a man of wealth and leisure, whose life suddenly takes a tumble into bankruptcy. Penned and directed by the versatile Elaine May, this dark comedy creates a world where Henry's sole passion lies in his riches. As his fortune evaporates, he strikes a risky deal with his uncle - a loan of $50,000 that he must repay within six weeks or surrender everything he cherishes. Driven by desperation and devoid of any practical skills, Henry embarks on a quest for a timely solution - marriage to a rich, family-less heiress. However, fate throws him a curveball as he stumbles upon the most hapless and disorganized woman he could imagine. With the ticking clock of his deadline and the challenges of his eccentric prospective bride, Henry finds himself tangled in a web of comedy and chaos. "A New Leaf," with its perfect blend of humor and tension, invites viewers into Henry's world, where money-making is an art, time is running out, and love is the most unpredictable player. This underappreciated gem from the 70s promises a journey of laughter, suspense, and perhaps a chance for Henry to truly turn over a new leaf.
