Cactus Flower
The prickly stage success that convulsed audiences around the world... with all its barbed wit and the sharpest comedy cast of the year!
A bright, witty romantic comedy built on mistaken identity and deception that resolves into genuine warmth and connection.
A dentist pretends to be married to avoid commitment, but when he falls for his girlfriend and proposes, he must recruit his lovelorn nurse to pose as his wife.
