''Cactus Flower'' is a 1969 comedy film directed by Gene Saks and starring Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman, and Goldie Hawn, who won an Oscar for her performance. The screenplay was adapted by I. A. L. Diamond from a Broadway stage play written by Abe Burrows, which in turn was based upon the French play ''Fleur de cactus'' by Pierre Barillet and Jean-Pierre Grédy. The film was the seventh highest grossing film of 1970. The film has been remade several times. An unauthorized Hindi version titled ''Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?'', starring Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen and Katrina Kaif, was released in 2005. An English language remake, ''Just Go With It,'' starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, was released in 2011. An Egyptian version titled ''Nos Sa'a Gawaz'' (Half-Hour Marriage), starring Rushdy Abaza, Shadia and Adel Imam, was released in 1969. ==Plot== 21-year-old Toni Simmons attempts to commit suicide by inhaling gas from a second-hand stove. Her neighbor, Igor Sullivan, smells the gas and rescues her by using mouth to mouth resuscitation, which evolves into a kiss after Toni regains consciousness. Toni's failed suicide attempt stems from her despondency following a romantic breakup. Her lover, Dr.Julian Winston, a dentist, ended the relationship by announcing he had a wife and three children. Unknown to Toni, Julian is not married. Upon learning of Toni's suicide attempt, Julian decides to marry Toni, but he needs a wife to divorce in order to sustain his earlier lie. Julian asks Stephanie Dickinson, his longtime nurse, to pose as his wife. At first unwilling, she ultimately relents, since she has long had a crush on her employer. Toni senses Miss Dickinson's feelings for Julian and asks Julian to help Miss Dickinson find another man. Ultimately Julian's friend Harvey, Señor Arturo Sánchez, and Igor all become embroiled in Julian's scheme. Toni suspects Julian's untrustworthiness and leaves him for Igor. Julian finally falls in love with Miss Dickinson. The prickly cactus Miss Dickinson keeps on her desk in the office gives the film its name. Like Miss Dickinson, the cactus thrives in the driest of settings. Ultimately, however, both the cactus and Miss Dickinson "bloom." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cactus Flower (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
