Such Good Friends

Director: Otto Preminger, Otto Preminger

1971 / 101min / DCP

Working from an acidic pseudonymous script by the great Elaine May, Preminger’s adaptation of Lois Gould’s novel of the same name is a scathing comedy of Manhattanite manners centered on Dyan Cannon’s Manhattanite housewife and her discovery of her husband’s numerous extramarital indiscretions after he falls into a coma following a routine surgery. Featuring Coco as the family doctor to whom Cannon’s character turns for… sympathy, and Burgess Meredith memorably doing a hoochie-coochie dance wearing nothing but a hardcover book.
