A New Leaf

"This romantic comedy drama starring Walter Matthau and Elaine May took me by surprise. Walter's character, Henry, is a spoiled, rich bachelor who loses his money and doesn't know what to do next. With the help of his Butler, Henry devises a plan to marry into money. James Coco plays the role of his very rich uncle. Doris Roberts plays a small role. I enjoyed this film from the very first scene, in which Henry's banker has to inform him of his loss of funds. The plot that follows is funny, at times sweet, and although out of character from the usual Mattau role, is endearing and sees Henry change slowly into a new type of man. "
