"Little Murders"(1971)- Alfred (Elliott Gould), a professional photographer dissatisfied with the commercialism of his art decides to opt out. The new subject of his photography is dog poo, representing the values of the world around him. Poo everywhere. He meets Patsy(Marsha Rodd) who saves him during a mugging, but his reaction to her intervention is unique. Set against the stark lunacy of city life, a romance begins while New Yorkers are being randomly picked off by a sniper. Black comedy at it's best. If you don't like the dark side of comedy, rent Alvin & the Chipmunks instead and leave me alone.
Best Scene: Has to be the mugging scene. It introduces us to both Alfred and Patsy and their weirdness.
