Retro Streaming and Movie Pass Adventures: Novocaine and A New Leaf (1970)

Two... love stories?

Colorful collage of Jack Quaid in Novocaine and Walter Matthau in A New Leaf.

Novocaine

Closeup of Jack Quaid's eyes and nose in Novocaine.

This movie is a Jack Quaid Charm Delivery Device. Also: I look forward to the upcoming “Is this a Christmas movie?” arguments.

My fake poster is an argument for pro-Christmas. The only reason I wish this was already on video is that I’d be able to get better source images.

A New Leaf

Elaine May looking at Walter Matthau, who is wearing a helmet and not looking elsewhere. Their faces are only partially visible.

Part two of my Unplanned Walter Matthau Film Festival. It’s a little jarring to go from Matthau as a schubbly transit cop in a gritty suspense story to Matthau as a high society fop in an arch farce.

…and this movie is on video, but I still couldn’t get decent images. Maybe I just like making excuses for the declining quality of these posters.

A poster for A New Leaf weakly imitating the poster for Blade Runner.
