Little Murders

1971, Movie, 1h 48min

The black-comic stage play by writer and Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer provides the basis for Alan Arkin’s directorial debut, a surreal satire of urban alienation and the senseless chaos of life in the big city. Unfolding in a paranoid, hysterical nightmare vision of early-1970s New York where muggings, random shootings, and obscene telephone calls are part of everyday life, LITTLE MURDERS traces the unlikely romance that develops between emotionally numb photographer Alfred (Elliott Gould) and stubbornly optimistic interior designer Patsy (Marcia Rodd)—until the mayhem that surrounds them pushes Alfred over the edge.
