Cactus Flower (1969)

His girlfriend Goldie Hawn values honesty above all else, which becomes a problem when dentist Walter Matthau decides he would like to marry her after previously telling her he was married with three children. Enter Ingrid Bergman, Matthau’s prudish assistant who holds a secret affection for her employer, who is enlisted to fill in as the imaginary wife. A light-hearted amusing romp, I appreciated it for being one of Bergman’s later roles and a rare comedic performance. I really dig Goldie’s mod style and her bubbly personality throughout the film, but it’s strange that she won an Oscar for a role that doesn’t seem that far-fetched from her normal persona.  Comedy  Romance
