Husbands
Quick Summary
Husbands is a 1970 film directed by John Cassavetes. The movie stars Peter Falk, Ben Gazzara, and Cassavetes himself as three suburban husbands who, after the death of a friend, embark on a spree of drinking, gambling, and womanizing, even taking a trip to London.1
Cassavetes was a pioneer of American independent filmmaking, often financing his personal projects through his acting work. Husbands, made in color and 35mm, was one of his more high-profile casts. While some critics found it banal, others saw echoes of Ingmar Bergman's work and noted moments of power in the largely improvised interactions.1
