Husbands Movie Review 1970

When Stuart (Rowlands) dies suddenly of a heart attack, his three equally middleaged buddies--Harry (Gazzara), Archie (Falk), and Gus (Cassavettes)--are reluctantly confronted with their own mortality. These suburban married men decide to cut loose and go on a spree, with Harry even persuading his buddies they should carry their frantic merriment across the pond in a trip to London. Meanders on a bit too long, thanks to Cassavettes usual reliance on improv and reluctance to edit.
