Cactus Flower

Starring: Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman, Goldie Hawn, et al.

Cactus Flower is a delightful comedy sparked by crazy, mixed-up situations and the kooky, Academy Award -winning film debut of Goldie Hawn (Best Actress in a Supporting Role, 1969). Walter Matthau (The Odd Couple, 1968) also stars as Julian Winston, an easygoing bachelor dentist whose delicately balanced scheme to get married crumbles under some unexpected circumstances. Newly remastered.Winston is stringing along his dizzy blonde mistress, Toni (Hawn), by telling her that he has a wife and children. But when he learns that she has tried to commit suicide over him, he promises to marry her. Toni, refusing to be a home wrecker, insists on first meeting Winston's wife, so he convinces Stephanie (Ingrid Bergman) - his starched and no-nonsense nurse - to pose as his wife. Winston's scheme leads to unforeseen twists and surprises for everyone.

Customer Reviews

Dirty married bachelor!

It's just "rotten rotten rotten" what some dentists will do to keep from marrying a ditzy girlfriend. Julian (Walter Matthau) pretends to be married already so his truth-loving girlfriend, Toni (Goldie Hawn) won't press him to marry her. When she attempts suicide, he realizes that he wants to marry her. Toni agrees only if she can meet the wife to prove that she is not a house/home wrecker. Julian comes up with a wife (Ingrid Bergman). Toni can see that Julian's wife still loves him. Throw in the neighbor who only wears a towel, Igor Sullivan, Senor Sanchez (Vito Scotti), a Mexican missile, and a wild party. And that is where the fun begins.
