The screenplay was adapted by I. A. L. Diamond from the Broadway play of the same name 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 eighth highest-grossing film of 1969. Plot21-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 suicide attempt came after being stood up by her lover, dentist Dr. Julian Winston. Julian had told Toni from the beginning of their relationship that he had a wife and three children. Unknown to Toni, Julian is not married; and Toni hates lying above all other transgressions. 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, his patient 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. Ultimately, both the cactus and Miss Dickinson "bloom".

ReceptionThe film was a box office hit, becoming the eighth highest-grossing film of 1969. Howard Thompson of The New York Times stated that "both the expansive scenario of I. A. L. Diamond and the flexible direction of Gene Saks open up and even ventilate the story".[2] Roger Ebert gave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four and declared that "the chemistry works" and "the movie is better than the play".[3] Gene Siskel gave the film two stars out of four, writing, "This is a film in the old style, but not in the good old style. The lines are neither current nor witty."[4] Variety wrote that the names of the stars "should pack some boxoffice punch. The film, however, drags, which is probably the [worst] thing that can be said of a light comedy. It's due to sloppy direction by Gene Saks and the miscasting of Matthau opposite Miss Bergman."[5] Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "'Cactus Flower' was a successful Broadway comedy and it translates to the screen quite nicely ... It is a craftily contrived piece of silliness enacted by competent and attractive people: Laugh In's Goldie Hawn, Walter Matthau and Ingrid Bergman in that order of laudability."[6] In her first major film role, Goldie Hawn, once described by Time as the "dizzy cream puff who is constantly blowing her lines [on Laugh-In]",[7] was praised in that same magazine for being "a natural reactress; her timing is so canny that even her tears run amusingly".[8] Hawn's performance in Cactus Flower won her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, her sole Oscar to date. The film presently has a score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 17 reviews, with an average grade of 7 out of 10.[9] Awards and nominations

Sarah Vaughan adds some gravity with ‘The Time for Love Is Anytime’, and there's even a groovy version of ‘To Sir, With Love’. A sweet cocktail.".[12]Track listingAll compositions by Cynthia Weil and Quincy Jones except where noted
