I've seen "Husbands" and the others. Falk and Gazarra are longtime favorites.
By no means am I a student of his work but my understanding is that contrary to popular belief his films were heavily scripted, allowing only delivery to be improvised. That includes "Husbands". Educate me, if the case is otherwise.
Almodovar is not that high in my regard either. Simply a matter of sympathy, of taste, nothing more. I understand his well-deserved fame. I take your word for the account re his covering Cassavetes' scene.
Maybe I'll reconsider Cassavetes in another ten years. Right now, I'm convinced of his abiding clunkiness.
