📣The Seven Day Itch:
A biting black comedy that will surprise you as much as it will have you in stiches.
A pompous, useless playboy becomes penniless, and attempts to solve his cost-of-living crisis via marriage then murder, to a timid, accident-prone heiress.

👍Ferrari cool:
Elaine May wrote, directed and starred in this lost classic (despite only receiving $50,000 as a first-time female director).
Great chemistry from May and Matthau.
Credit to George Rose as the stressed butler/moral compass, and Doris Roberts ('Everyone Loves Raymond') as the ever-winking housekeeper.

🥇Best quote:
"Oh, Henrietta
[kneels to propose, crushes wine glass]
- Aah! Damn it to hell!"
"Did you hurt yourself?"
"No.
Kneeling on broken glass is my favourite pastime.
It keeps me from slouching."
