The Plot Against Harry ★★★ 1969

Jewish racketeer Harry Plotnik checks out of prison, and finds the outside world ain't what it used to be. Attempting to lead an honest life only makes matters worse. Completely overlooked when first released in 1969 (and quickly shelved) because it was considered to have no commercial potential, Roemer's crime comedy found an enthusiastic audience when it was rediscovered 20 years later. 81m/B VHS, DVD . Martin Priest, Ben Lang, Maxine Woods, Henry Nemo, Jacques Taylor, Ellen Herbert, Sandra Kazan; D: Michael Roemer; W: Michael Roemer; C: Robert M. Young; M: Frank Lewin.
