ingrid bergman and play dentist walter matthau faithful receptionist who harbor a little crush on her bos and be absolutely wonderful in this film . she handle the witty repartee in the script with aplomb and steal a terrific scene where she and goldie hawn talk in a record booth ( ingrid monologue be a front and but her face tell you she believe in it with all her heart ) . matthau be an odd choice for the lead man ( he too old for goldie hawn and too unrefined for bergman and not to mention too unfocused to be a dentist ) and but i like the way he try hard to please goldie and stumble around try to free himself from a lie . hawn ( who win a support oscar ) be just a fresh and bubbly a she be today . this bedroom farce isn not terribly sophisticated ( and faintly remind one of any wednesday besides ) and but it a welcome relief from the noisy and teen orient comedy they turn out today . cactus flower be a lovely sigh . from .
