Who else writes a shitty guy like the GOAT Elaine May? Her first entry in the big-screen buffoon canon is Henry Graham, brought to toxic life by a solipsistic Walter Matthau. A trust fund baby still clinging to old-world signifiers of money like a live-in valet, Graham’s drained his inheritance to nothing. Fixing to get his empty bank account full again via a quick marriage to hapless heiress Henrietta Lowell (played by May herself), Graham finds himself fighting off all the other people taking advantage of the trusting botanist. His noblesse oblige grows thinner over the movie’s course, turning from red-hot annoyance at Lowell’s poor manners to worn-down fondness. May’s directorial debut plays in honor of Women’s History Month, celebrating the third-ever woman inducted into the Directors Guild of America. – James Scott
