Beau
Bridges plays Elgar Enders, a privileged WASP who buys a building in
the transitional neighborhood of 1970 Park Slope, planning to evict all
the occupants and construct a luxury home for himself. Enders’ ideas are
changed, however, when he becomes acquainted with the tenants, who
include Marge, a fortune-teller; Professor Duboise, a black
segregationist; the Copee family; and an invalid couple who live in the
basement. He decides to remain as the landlord and help fix the
apartment building. Curated and hosted by Glenn Kenny. Dir. Hal Ashby.
(1970; 112 min).
