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




Rating: - FINALLY!
I am so happy to see this UNcut version FINALLY on DVD, it's been a long time coming. I rushed home from college to see this movie for the 1st time on Bravo (when Bravo was commercial-free and showed mostly uncut movies in the '90s) and even though I missed the first 15 minutes, I knew I was onto something special. The next time it aired I made sure to record it and watched it in its entirety countless times.
A year or two later my favorite arthouse cinema in L.A., The Beverly Cinema, scheduled ... Read More

Rating: - Deserved a Criterion Release
I give this film 5 stars because it is a magnificent film: funny, sad, frustrating, annoying, self-indulgent, often overdone. Yet it is Life itself. It deals with living Life in the face of Death wherein the grim face of Finality is not directly looked upon. It is about men looking to be Huck Finns one more time for a wild ride down the adventurous river of Life.

I am glad the film is finally available on DVD, although it is not the fullest cut made by Cassavetes. He went through many ... Read More

Rating: - HUSBANDS - The Extended Cut
To set the record straight about the running time of the long-awaited DVD release of John Cassavetes' "Husbands," Sony's own website and press release announce this as "The Extended Cut," with a running time of 142 minutes, with the following text: "Husbands was originally released to preview audiences at a length of 139 minutes but subsequently cut by 11 minutes. The DVD presents the film in its full-length, original version, largely unseen by audiences since 1969." All of us Cassavetes fans know that ... Read More

Rating: - What's Truncated from the upcoming release?
I found this film, my favorite of Cassavetes, through an independent collector. Actually, there are two versions that I have, each different and ranging from 131 minutes to 138 minutes in length. The longer version has an extended "bar scene" with a rousing rendition of "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" and further less appreciative restroom scenes. It is MISSING, however, the disembarking from the plane in London that the 131 minute version contains. I've read there's a 151 minute version floating around ... Read More
