That's Life! (1986)

Director:

 Blake Edwards

Writers:

 Milton Wexler, Blake Edwards

Stars:

 Jack Lemmon, Julie Andrews, Sally Kellerman
 
Blake Edwards co-wrote and directed this seriocomedy about a couple of rich and famous Malibuans forced to re-examine their lives and values during a weekend party celebrating the husband's 60th birthday. Jack Lemmon and Julie Andrews star as Harvey and Gillian Fairchild. Harvey is a successful architect who has attained his wealth by flattering his rich clients and compromising his ideals. Although he has everything he could want out of life, he is still unhappy. He looks at himself in the mirror and sees a middle-aged man who hates himself, feels that his children don't love him, and thinks that he is dying. Gillian, a successful singer, tries to bolster his self-confidence so that he can have a wonderful birthday. But she has problems of her own -- she has just returned from her doctor, who has informed her that she may have throat cancer. The doctor won't know for sure until the tests come back on Monday. In the meantime, Gillian tries to keep up a brave front for Harvey's celebration.

  1. DIRECTOR BLAKE EDWARDS GOES FOR SEMI-BIOGRAPHY IN "THAT'S LIFE!" (1986): 3 Star Review

    Posted by on Apr 28th 2025


    Director Blake Edwards had a penchant for semi-biography. He worked out some of his professional demons in his acid Hollywood satire "S.O.B". (1981). "That's Life!" (1986) is even more personal, as Edwards makes a film based on his own nervous breakdown. The decision was made to use just the bare bones of a script, (with, I assume, some improvisation) and just friends, neighbors, and assorted family members; and even the Malibu beach house of Edwards and his wife Julie Andrews.
    Jack Lemmon plays Harvey Fairchild, a deeply dissatisfied architect headed for a breakdown/ mid-life crisis as his 60th birthday approaches. As family and friends arrive for the birthday bash, Harvey seems intent on driving everyone away from him.
    We can assume Julie Andrews is playing some "version" of herself, as his long-suffering wife Gillian. She must endure a very long weekend, and keep a personal crisis secret, while trying to keep her husband and family intact.
    This comedy-drama, though well-intended and sincere, never feels fully thought-out or realized. It's a biographical sketch of a very unhappy man having a very unhappy birthday, who makes his family fairly unhappy, too.
