A New Leaf

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

[starring] Walter Matthau.
The feature film also starring Elaine May

Having exhausted his inherited fortune, middle-aged playboy Henry Graham contemplates suicide but his resourceful valet suggests the scarcely preferable alternative of marriage to a wealthy woman.

Walter Matthau gives a characteristically brilliant performance as Henry, with the versatile Elaine May as his "victim" - and also writer and director of this delightful comedy.

Based on the short story "The Green Heart" by Jackie Ritchie
