Husbands (1970) Synopsis

Three friends, Harry, Archie and Gus, (Ben Gazzara, Peter Falk and John Cassavetes) embark on a cleansing weekend of the soul after the sudden death of their friend and contempary Stuart. On a whim these middle-aged New Yorkers decide to flee to London to gamble, party and test the boundaries of life. A beautifully observed and outrageously unsentimental study of sentiment, "Husbands" explores the desires, loves and losses of a generation constantly running away from their lives through three men who actually do it.
