starring Debbie Reynolds
Tony Randall , Paul Douglas
Pop Larkin 's neighbour, incensed by Larkin's casual borrowing of his prize boar to mate with his own sow, discloses to the Bureau of Internal Revenue that Larkin has never paid income tax. And that's where the fun really starts for Lorenzo Charlton , the investigator sent to check on the complicated affairs of the unorthodox Larkin family.
Tony Randall stars as the perplexed taxman in this American adaptation of H. E. Bates's best-selling novel The Darling Buds of May.
Screenplay by WILLIAM ROBERTS from the novel The Darling Buds of May by H. E. BATES

Tonight's film
Le Dejeuner sur L'Herbe
(Lunch on the Grass) starring
Paul Meurisse
Catherine Rouvel
In this satirical tate set in the future, Renoir's view of modern life contrasts starkly with the sunlit landscape of its setting.
Professor Alexis, a candidate for the Presidency of United Europe, is convinced that artificial insemination is the answer to all society's problems. He plans to announce his own part in this scheme at a formal picnic, but some mysterious music played by a nearby goat-herd transforms the picnic into a rustic orgy.
