That's Life!

Dropped off after hitching a ride due to car trouble at his Malibu mansion (the real home of writer-director-producer Blake Edwards, in his independently-financed feature), architect Harvey (Jack Lemmon) doesn't ask how his actress wife Gillian (Julie Andrews, also Mrs. Edwards) is doing, though we know she’s waiting on a cancer test, early in That’s Life, 1986.

Opening with sounds of surgery under the credits, from writer-director Blake Edwards, his leading lady (Julie Andrews, Edwards’ wife) gets a cancer test, attended by a real Beverly Hills clinician (Charles Schneider) and reassured by friend Keith (Jordan Christopher), in That’s Life, 1986, also starring Jack Lemmon.

In a shot writer-producer-director Blake Edwards needed several days to get, due to fog on the beach at his own Malibu home, actress Gillian (Julia Andrews, Mrs. Edwards), secretly awaiting results of a cancer test, meets friend and realtor Molly (Sally Kellerman) exercising, in That’s Life, 1986.

At a posh Malibu restaurant, architect Harvey (Jack Lemmon), going bonkers as his 60th birthday looms, ruminates about a demanding client and his own angst, his actress wife Gillian (Julie Andrews, spouse of writer-director Blake Edwards) riding it out, in That’s Life, 1986.
