I first saw this movie in the 70s when I was a kid and I laughed my head off. The great Walter Matthau played this role to the hilt and his portrayal is perfect. I've watched this movie many times over the years and it still makes me laugh out loud.
Someone mentioned that the mark of a great comedy is that you can watch it more than once and still laugh at it even though you know what's coming. I couldn't agree more.
"A New Leaf", as others have stated, is a completely underrated gem! The performances are great and Elaine May's writing and directing is inspired. It's a shame that more people don't know of this great movie. As someone stated, it deserves "cult" status.
If this is ever released on DVD, I'll certainly add it to my collection. A gem not to be missed.
