The Plot Against Harry, directed by Michael Roemer. Roemer directed Nothing but a Man, which many of us here have seen and admired. Going by letterboxd, very few have seen The Plot Against Harry, let alone admired it. Roemer shot it in 1969. He showed it to some studio executives, who did not get it at all, and the film was never released. In 1989, Roemer decided to transfer it to video to show it to his kids. It got picked up by a couple of festivals and was finally released, 20 years after being made.

If you ask me, it's a delightfully eccentric comedy that follows a hapless Jewish small-time crook who has just been released from jail, as he deals with his complicated family life and his various business partners. It's got a wonderful huge cast. and covers a sizable slice of New York life from that era.
