Cactus Flower is a 1969 American screwball comedy film directed by Gene Saks, and starring Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman and Goldie Hawn, who won an Academy Award for her performance.

The screenplay was adapted by I. A. L. Diamond from the 1965 Broadway play of the same name written by Abe Burrows, which in turn was based upon the French play Fleur de cactus by Pierre Barillet and Jean-Pierre Gredy. Cactus Flower was the ninth highest-grossing film of 1969.

    Goldy Hawn’s first movie, stole the show with two brilliant actors - Ingrid and Walter.

    Damn funny, in the context of it’s era.

      Great cast, yes. I’m always a fan of Walter Matthau’s. Hopscotch is one of my all time favorites. I’m watching this one as time permits.

        Oh man, Hopscotch. Another great one.

        Matthau has grown on me as I’ve gotten older. Lol
