Newly Restored

THE PLOT AGAINST HARRY

Directed by Michael Roemer

USA, 1969, 1h 21min, 35mm

Newly Restored

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Life goes meshuga for Harry, a small-time Kosher Nostra member and recent ex-con, who tries to go straight in a crazy world. A neglected masterpiece from Michael Roemer (the forgotten, now-rediscovered artist behind the stunning VENGEANCE IS MINE), this wry comedy classic wouldn’t get a laugh until over twenty years after its initial release. Call it neglect, call it a misunderstanding; whatever the reaction, this unruly gem of American independent cinema earns every one of them. In 35mm.
