California Suite (1978)
In the film adaptation of Neil Simon’s play California Suite, four couples stay in a Beverly Hills hotel. It’s divided up into four sections, showing where each out-of-towner comes from. Parts of it are very funny, and parts are so true to life they’ll inspire tears. While everyone has their favorite Neil Simon play, this one is very good and just might snag a special place in your heart.
Now for the plots: In the first segment, divorced couple Jane Fonda and Alan Alda argue over custody of their teenaged daughter. Next up is the most memorable part: Maggie Smith is up for an Academy Award, and her husband Michael Caine isn’t able to give her the support she needs. While Maggie lost the Oscar in the film, in real life, she won Best Supporting Actress in 1979. She and Michael have wonderful, realistic chemistry together, and her performance is very touching. In another room, Walter Matthau has to hide a sleeping prostitute from his wife, Elaine May. And finally, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, Gloria Gifford, and Sheila Frazier are taking a couples vacation together and wind up playing tennis.
