Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Three real-life buddies (John Cassavetes, Peter Falk, and Ben Gazzara) team up to play three pals whose lives suffer a shock wave when a fourth friend drops dead. After the funeral, the three friends, feeling death's hot breath on their own necks, take off on a weekend-long debauch, with way too much drinking and loose women. But, in the process, they have lengthy heart-to-hearts about the nature of friendship, manhood, and marriage, among other things. As strong an example of Cassavetes's improvisational art as any of his films, this film may test your patience with his indulgent treatment of actors, allowing them to explore their characters on film. Sometimes they come up empty, but more often, they find precious moments and revelations. And these three guys play off each other like long-time partners in a high-wire game of chicken in which they all emerge as winners. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - pain is goodThis is an excruciating, frustrating, painful comedy of men, and amazing in retrospect. Cassavetes was an authentic cinematic genius of American film, regardless of the philistine like comments I've seen in these reviews. What I don't undertand is why they haven't made it available on DVD. Are they restoring it? Are there legal tie-ups? What? I've only ever seen it in pieces on television. I would love to be able to examine fully, without commerical interruption or deletion.... Rating: - Is This Supposed To Be Entertainment?Please Advise!!!This is a very bleak and depressing movie about 3 guys who fly off to London after going to a funeral of one of their friends. Instead of being grateful that they are still alive they then spend a few days arguing over nothing, drinking and indulging in casual sex.This movie was made by the very overrated and pretentious filmaker John Cassevetes who didn't even have the sense to stop drinking after his doctors told him this indulgence would cause his death which it did. He also had a reputation ... Read More Rating: - Complex ComedyIn Ray Carney's new book about Cassavetes he talks about how the director spent a year re-editing this movie because he thought it was too "entertaining" and too "funny" in its first version. Ray Carney's Cassavetes on Cassavetes has hundreds of similar anecdotes by the filmmaker. It's a perfect introduction to Husbands. It's anything but a simple comedy. The characters are as unpredictable as real people and the situations as hard to figure out as stuff in real life. Read More Rating:  - Good plot but the dialogue dragged on and on and on....The story is an interesting exploration of mid-life and the common male struggle of wanting more and wanting something else. The death of a friend sends the three main characters into confusion about their lives. They drink, fight, and eventually fly off to London. There, each husband tries to force happiness into his life through gambling, booze, and broads. Of course, the jaunt does not present any magical results. While the story was interesting it was dragged down by scenes of endless ... Read More Rating:  - IMPROVISING AT IT'S BEST, "...THE LEGS GO AT 35!"I FIRST VIEWED,"HUSBANDS", IN THE THEATRE. NOW 29 YRS LATER, MYSELF MIDDLE AGE AND MARRIED, I SEE BEHIND THE EYES OF THESE ACTORS AND FINALLY REALIZE THEIR MESSAGE.
