So I watched a new leaf from 1971 starring Walter Matthau. So is it a classic, well yeah, is it for everyone well no. It is very quirky, a little odd, a little dark, and has some of the best dialog I've ever heard. I am not a big sucker for a happy ending, especially when you see it coming but it fits. I won't go into it, but it is the only weak spot in this otherwise great comedy. The material doesn't seem dated and a remake could be effective, but this movie stands up over time. Just remember to take care of the carbon on your valves, inside joke if you see the movie you'll get it. if you like concise reviews of interesting films please read my other reviews at http://raouldukeatthemovies.blogspot.com/
