The film stars Richard Gere, Helen Hunt, Farrah Fawcett, Laura Dern, Shelley Long, Kate Hudson, Tara Reid, Liv Tyler, and many more talented actors. Dr. T & the Women follows the story of Dr. Sullivan Travis, a wealthy, successful, and charming gynecologist from Dallas, Texas. Dr. Travis is well-liked by his patients and colleagues and is seen as a celebrity in his community. Despite his seemingly perfect life, Dr. Travis struggles to keep up with his demanding job and the expectations of his wife, daughter, and sisters-in-law.

At the beginning of the film, Dr. Travis's wife Kate (Farrah Fawcett) is admitted to a mental institution, leaving him to care for their three daughters, including the rebellious Dee Dee (Kate Hudson) and their neurotic sister-in-law, Peggy (Laura Dern). As Dr. Travis tries to balance his family responsibilities and his career, he becomes romantically entangled with several of his patients, including the free-spirited golf pro Bree (Helen Hunt) and the wealthy, beautiful, and eccentric socialite Carolyn (Shelley Long).

As the plot unfolds, Dr. Travis becomes more and more bewildered by the women in his life, and his personal and professional lives become increasingly complicated. The film explores themes of gender, love, family, and modern society's obsession with success and appearance.

Through Altman's directional style, the film creates a vivid portrait of the Dallas high society, complete with detailed and unique characters and jarring, surrealist dream sequences. The script, written by Anne Rapp, is filled with witty, sharp dialogue and nuanced character development, making Dr. T & the Women a delightful and engaging film.

Richard Gere delivers a captivating performance as Dr. Travis, striking a balance between his character's charm and vulnerability. Gere's chemistry with his co-stars also shines through, particularly with Helen Hunt, who portrays Bree with an endearing mix of confidence and vulnerability. Farrah Fawcett, in one of her final performances, delivers a nuanced and poignant portrayal of Kate, Dr. Travis's wife.

Overall, Dr. T & the Women is a charming and engaging film that explores the complexities of modern relationships, gender roles, and societal pressures. The film features a talented ensemble cast, sharp dialogue, and excellent directional choices. It is a must-watch for anyone looking for a witty and thought-provoking romantic comedy-drama.
