01
Kind Hearts and Coronets
Why this pick
Its exquisitely polite surface and murderous matrimonial scheming echo A New Leaf’s blend of aristocratic satire, immaculate timing, and delightfully amoral protagonist.

SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
If you loved A New Leaf, try these.
01
02
The Ladykillers
Why this pick
A precise, dryly escalating crime farce in which genteel manners conceal increasingly absurd criminal intent—much like Elaine May’s controlled comic menace.
03
The Trouble with Harry
Why this pick
Hitchcock gives a potentially grisly premise the same sunny, civilized deadpan as A New Leaf, with eccentric characters treating danger as an inconvenient social problem.
04
The Loved One
Why this pick
Its lavishly tasteless social satire and calmly bizarre romantic courtship make a sharp companion to A New Leaf’s wealthy-world cruelty and offbeat warmth.
05
Harold and Maude
Why this pick
Another 1971 black comedy where a privileged, death-obsessed man is unexpectedly changed by an unconventional woman; it shares May’s tender edge beneath the morbidity.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Henry Graham, a playboy from a wealthy patrician family, has run through his entire inheritance and is completely unequipped to provide for himself. His childhood guardian, Uncle Harry, refuses to give him a dime. Henry considers but is unwilling to exercise the only solution he can think of—suicide. At the suggestion of his valet Harold, Henry decides the only other viable option open to him: marrying into wealth. With a $50,000 loan from Uncle Harry to tide him over, Henry has just six weeks to find a rich bride and repay the money, otherwise he must forfeit all of his property to his uncle.
