Husbands is a 1970 American comedy-drama film written and directed by John Cassavetes.[2] It stars Ben Gazzara, Peter Falk, and Cassavetes as three middle class men in the throes of a midlife crisis following the death of a close friend.[3]
Distributed by Columbia Pictures, Husbands polarized critics upon release. Jay Cocks of Time described it as Cassavetes's finest work,[4] but other critics, including Vincent Canby, Pauline Kael, and Roger Ebert, lambasted it.[5][6][7]
