Cactus Flower
"...engagingly fast and witty..." -Boxoffice
Cactus Flower is a delightful comedy sparked by crazy, mixed-up situations and a kooky, Academy Award® winning debut performance from Goldie Hawn (Best Actress in a Supporting Role). Walter Matthau also stars as Julian Winston, an easy-going bachelor dentist whose delicately balanced scheme crumbles under some unexpected circumstances.
Winston is stringing along his dizzy blonde mistress, Toni (Goldie Hawn), by telling her he has a wife and children. When he learns that Toni has tried to commit suicide over him, however, he promises to marry her. Toni, refusing to be a homewrecker, insists on meeting Winston's wife. He convinces Stephanie (Ingrid Bergman) - his starched, no-nonsense receptionist - to pose as his wife, and there are unforeseen twists and surprises for everyone.

When i first saw this movie i found it a bit confusing but then it was a late night tv movie. When i watched it again I truly enjoyed it. Goldie hawn is superb in her role. not wonder she won an oscar for it. i really liked her. Walter mathau is great in his supproting role.Cactus Flower - Alex8
I first saw this picture in the early 70s, & had to see it twice then, because the laughter was so load we missed some of the dialog the first time. Goldie continued her character she first developed in Laugh-In, same voice & hairstyle, & I really go for the giggle.
I think she earned her Acadamy Award, & most of her movies have been a guarantee of an enjoyable night out.Highly Recommended - Grindstone
This was a lot of fun. Clean, yet with a whole bunch of sexual inuendos. Funny that no-one has done a remake of this yet. I loved the fashions. It was a little bit unbelievable that a babe like Goldie (even at her ditziest) would hook up with a dentist like Walter played but it still played well.
