Plaza Suite Reviews
It is a minor agony: humorless, loveless, calorie-scared.

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.

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.

Hiller directs his cast with the assurance that he knows the characters they are portraying, loves them and can laugh at their foibles.

While the film seems considerably less funny than the play, It is still reasonably entertaining and, in addition to a quartet of winning performances, it has a share of typical Simon insights into the often troubled world of romance and marriage.

A bright, diverting comedy... enriched by not one but four stop-the-presses performances.

In Arthur Hiller's rigid transcription of Neil Simon's Broadway one-acters set in Manhattan's Plaza Hotel, Matthau essays not one part but three. Each is unique, all are achingly comic.

Each of the femme stars is given much screen time and the result not only is excellent spotlighting of their own talents, but also an adroit restraint on Matthau's presence.
