Minnie and Moskowitz (1971)

"You know, I think that movies are a conspiracy. I mean it… They are actually a conspiracy because they set you up, Florence. They set you up from the time you were a little kid. They set you up to believe in everything. They set you up to believe in ideals and strength and good guys and romance and of course, love. Love, Florence… So, you believe it. You go out. You start looking. Doesn’t happen and you keep looking. There’s no Charles Boyer in my life, Florence. I never even met a Charles Boyer. I never met Clark Gable, I never met Humphrey Bogart. I never met any of them… They don’t exist, Florence. That’s the truth. But the movies set you up. They set you up and no matter how bright you are, you believe it."

“I'm very concerned about the depiction of women on the screen. It's related to their being either high- or low-class concubines, and the only question is when or where they will go to bed, and with whom or how many. There's nothing to do with the dreams of women, or of woman as the dream, nothing to do with the quirky part of her, the wonder of her.” — John Cassavetes.

'I have a mother complex. I can't have anyone say anything about her and she always has to be welcome in the house.. okay?'

These three artists worked together for the first time in the 60's and built a relationship that would grow over the years to being loyal friends and some of the greatest of artistic collaborators.

GENA ROWLANDS and JOHN CASSAVETES and PETER FALK

"I met him at a Laker game and I was walking down the aisle to get a hot dog or something. We bumped into one another and it's like we recognized each other (…) John was teeming with feeling and emotion, and yet he was extremely intelligent. He was a wild animal." — Peter Falk, about John

"When I saw her, that was it! The first time I saw her in 1953, I was with an actor, John Ericson, and I said, ‘That’s the girl I’m going to marry.’" — John Cassavetes, about his wife, Gena

"I first met Peter Falk in 1969 on the set of a film called Machine Gun McCain. It was a good movie and a lot of fun to make with him. We hit it off and became good friends, Peter, John and I. That was the beginning of a long, close and very creative friendship. A very special friendship." — Gena Rowlands, about Peter

( Cassavetes directed his wife solo in 4 other films: A Child Is Waiting, Faces, Minnie & Moskowitz, Gloria )
