Little Murders tells the story of the Newquist family. They meet their daughter Patsy's new boyfriend Alfred in New York, where random acts of violence are occurring. The original Broadway premiere only ran for seven performances, and the play was adapted into a film in 1971. Directed by Alan Arkin, the film starred Elliott Gould as Alfred and Marcia Rodd as Patsy.
