Dr. T and the Women is a 2000 comedy-drama film directed by Robert Altman and starring Richard Gere as the title character, Dr. Sullivan Travis, a wealthy gynecologist living in Dallas, Texas. The film follows Dr. T as he navigates the complex relationships with the women in his life, including his wife, daughters, sister-in-law, nurse, and various patients.
Dr. T's life starts to unravel when his wife, Kate, is diagnosed with a rare mental illness and his daughters begin to have problems of their own. At the same time, he becomes romantically involved with several of his patients, including a golf pro, a homeless woman, and a woman who is trying to have a baby. As the story unfolds, Dr. T's life becomes more and more complicated, and he must learn to balance his professional and personal lives.
The movie features an ensemble cast, including Helen Hunt, Farrah Fawcett, Laura Dern, Kate Hudson, Liv Tyler, and Shelley Long. The film received mixed reviews upon its release, with some critics praising its performances and direction, while others criticized its plot and character development. However, it remains a notable entry in Altman's filmography and is remembered for its exploration of the complexities of relationships and family dynamics.
