Can She Bake a Cherry Pie?

Back by Popular Demand • 1h 32m

The fleet, dryly funny fourth feature from independent cinema stalwart Henry Jaglom stars a riveting Karen Black—who also composed music for the film—as Zee, a middle-aged Upper West Sider, who, reeling after being abandoned by her husband, pursues an amour fou romance with divorced social worker Eli (Michael Emil). A snapshot of a largely disappeared Manhattan filled with tenderness for its characters and their city, featuring piquant support from Orson Welles and, of all people, Larry David.
