Review of Husbands

Husbands (1970)

I'm just wild about Harry
27 April 2006
You can tell what Harry's like just by the way he enters the basketball court. He ain't one for playing. "Where is the warmth?" defines Harry's quest. Archie is the same man in 'Woman Under The Influence'. Literally, like kissing a wet fish. Gus is elusive, always acting, hiding. Harry is open. He is the only one who comes close to being emotionally honest and Archie calls him a "phoney". Perhaps, because he sees how scared Harry is of life. However, London is his triumph. Unlike his two friends Harry is able to let go completely. Gus and Archie become mere courtesans as Harry holds court in his hotel suite...'and the women came to him like horses'. Dancing in the dark...
