Little Murders is a 1971 black comedy film starring Elliott Gould and Marcia Rodd about a girl (Rodd) who brings home her boyfriend (Gould) to meet her parents amidst a series of random shootings, garbage strikes and electrical outages ravaging the neighborhood and the family's severe dysfunction.
The film originated as a play written by cartoonist Jules Feiffer which he attempted to stage in New York City in 1967 but it lasted only seven performances. He staged another attempt, this time at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Europe which was much more successful. Feiffer brought the play back to the United States in 1969 where it was performed at the Circle in the Square in New York City with a cast that included Linda Lavin, Vincent Gardenia, Elliott Gould, Donald Sutherland, and David Steinberg.
