Black comedy starring Walter Matthau and Elaine May. Having exhausted his inherited fortune, middle-aged playboy Henry Graham contemplates suicide until his resourceful valet suggests an alternative - marriage to a wealthy woman. Then Henry's problems really start...
Sophisticated, cynical black comedy from writer/director/star Elaine May about a middle-aged playboy (Walter Matthau) who, lacking the resources to sustain his extravagant lifestyle, decides to marry wealthy wallflower May to keep himself in the luxury to which he's accustomed. Matthau intends to bump his new bride off, only to find himself afflicted by a guilty conscience. A Manhattan fairy tale with a wonderfully mordant edge.
