I'd heard mention of Cactus Flower through the years but only ever as Goldie Hawn winning an Oscar for her performance. And yes, she is likeable here. Even more likeable for me was Ingrid Bergman. At first her presence through me off a bit but before long I could tell that her's was a bit if inspired casting which I very much enjoyed. Matthau is Matthau. The story is kind of slight and the writers do their best to stretch it out to a feature length film, and for the most part it works, but the middle section drags just a bit as Hawn's character's endless concerns for Matthau's wife starts to become overwrought. Things do come back together towards the final third of the film and it ends pleasantly enough.
