What happens

Cactus Flower is a 1969 American screwball comedy film directed by Gene Saks, and starring Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman and Goldie Hawn, who won an Academy Award for her performance. The screenplay was adapted by I. A. L. Diamond from the 1965 Broadway play of the same title written by Abe Burrows, which, in turn, is based on the French play Fleur de cactus by Pierre Barillet and Jean-Pierre Gredy. Cactus Flower was the tenth highest-grossing film of 1969. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
