A spoiled and self-absorbed man who has squandered his inheritance, Henry Graham (Walter Matthau) is desperate to find a way to maintain his lavish lifestyle. Henry sees an opportunity when he meets Henrietta Lowell (Elaine May), an awkward and bookish heiress. Though Henry courts Henrietta, he has no intention of remaining with her, and he develops a surprisingly sinister scheme. As Henry attempts to execute his plan, he finds that seeing it through may not be as easy as he had thought.

The Fort Worth Film Club was founded in 2022 after the closing of Fort Worth’s lone art house theater: the Grand Berry Theater. Continuing what the Grand Berry started, the newly branded Fort Worth Film Club's goal is to build a community in Fort Worth around a shared love of film. The Fort Worth Film Club hosts free monthly screenings aiming for films with cultural and local importance. These screenings are open to the public and are followed by a moderated discussion.
