Little Murders
(Free and Open to the Public)
Directed by Alan Arkin
Starring Elliott Gould, Marcia Rodd, Vincent Gardenia, Donald Sutherland
Written by Jules Feiffer, Little Murders is a film adaptation of his off-Broadway play. It is an unforgettable and provocative satire set within the violent confines of New York City and a grim world of neurosis and paranoia. At the time of production, the film was considered savagely cynical, but today it is a painfully accurate look at city life. Little Murders was Alan Arkin's directorial debut. With scene-stealing cameo appearances by Donald Sutherland, Lou Jacobi, and Arkin himself.
NOTE: Jules Feiffer will visit the Writers Institute on Wednesday, November 11, 1998. His multimedia presentation, "My Life and Times," will take place at 8:00 p.m. in Page Hall.
