THE STORY:
The Curious Savage tells the tale of Ethel Savage, an elderly widow who inherits $10 million from her late husband. She plans to donate the entire sum to individuals pursuing their ‘foolish dreams,’ much to the dismay of her stepchildren. To stop her from squandering their family fortune and tarnishing their legacy, they have her committed to a sanatorium called The Cloisters. There, among the kind-hearted residents, she discovers her true family. This heartwarming comedy contrasts the kindness and loyalty of psychiatric patients with the greed and hostility of so-called ‘normal people.’
