The Landlord
Watch the landlord get his.
Directed by Hal Ashby
Produced by The Mirisch Company, Cartier Productions
A satirical comedy-drama about a privileged young man's collision with urban reality and his gradual transformation through unexpected human connection.
At the age of twenty-nine, Elgar Enders "runs away" from home. This running away consists of buying a building in a black ghetto in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. Initially, his intention is to evict the black tenants and convert the building into a posh flat. But Elgar is not one to be bound by yesterday's urges, and soon he has other thoughts on his mind.
