In a film based on Neil Simon's hit play, Walter Matthau portrays three unconnected roles. Sam Nash reluctantly joins his wife, Karen (Maureen Stapleton), in the suite where they spent their honeymoon, hoping to revive their flagging marriage. Then Jesse Kiplinger, an aging movie producer, is determined to seduce his old flame, Muriel (Barbara Harris). Finally, Matthau is beleaguered father Roy Hubley who, with his wife, Norma (Lee Grant), struggles to get their daughter to her own wedding.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Featuring three Walter Matthau performances for the price of one, Plaza Suite is an uneven but overall entertaining Neil Simon adaptation.

It is a minor agony: humorless, loveless, calorie-scared. Go to Full Review
Vincent Canby New York Times Aug 29, 2021
Even though Mr. Matthau is one of America's finest comic actors, I found most of his work here filled with desperation, quite like the rather ratty hairpieces he wears to differentiate the three characters he plays. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
It may be there could never be too much Matthau. With "Plaza Suite" and "A New Leaf" he has reestablished himself as one of our funniest actors, proving that role selection is a crucial element in an actor's competence. Go to Full Review

You get three Walter Matthaus for the price of one here, as he cynically bulldozes his way through three acts of Neil Simon's play about the goings-on in a swanky hotel suite. Go to Full Review
John Huddy Miami Herald Aug 29, 2021
"Plaza Suite" goes sour immediately and even talented performers the caliber of Walter Matthau, Barbara Harris, and Lee Grant can't quite salvage the film treatment of Neil Simon's three-act hit play. Go to Full Review

Luke R Jan 14, 2017 Vaguely recall seeing it in theater when it came out, i think. Not too memorable for me. But it and Neil Simon was widely heralded. See more
