Always play it the company way. Remember, a secretary is not a toy. Following these and other ethically-suspect tips, J. Pierpont Finch (Morse, aka Mad Men’s Bert Cooper) sets out to climb the corporate ladder at the World Wide Wicket Company, schmoozing boss J.B. Biggley (Vallee) and wooing sweet Rosemary Pilkington (Lee). UA's adaptation of the Tony-winning musical satire brings much of the original Broadway cast to the screen, along with Bob Fosse's distinctive choreography and Frank Loesser's classic songs. Add an almost garishly colorful production design, and you've got some quintessentially Sixties fun! (AM)

From Farhadi, the acclaimed, Oscar-nominated director of A Separation and The Past comes this mystery-thriller that has been compared to Antonioni’s L’Avventura. A fun weekend outing for a group of adult couples visiting the Caspian Sea becomes fraught with anxiety when invited guest Elly, a newcomer to the group, disappears without a trace. While they begin their search for Elly and call in police to investigate, the panicking friends begin to blame each other for the events leading up to the disappearance. Championed by international critics, About Elly was produced before A Separation and The Past, but due to rights issues, it remained unreleased in the U.S. until this year.

Coming off two critical and commercial successes, Bogdanovich combined the gorgeous black and white photography of The Last Picture Show and the screwball comedy dialogue pace of What’s Up, Doc? to tell the seriocomic tale of a con man (Ryan O’Neal) and his young charge (an Oscar-winning performance from Tatum O’Neal) on the road and evading the authorities in Great Depression era Kansas and Missouri. Laszlo Kovacs cinematography is incandescent and Alvin Sargent’s screenplay (an adaptation of the novel Addie Pray by Joe David Brown) boasts an authenticity that the lived-in performances serve to highlight.
