To Find a Man is a 1972 American comedy-drama film directed by Buzz Kulik adapted from the S.J. Wilson novel of the same name, and starring Pamela Sue Martin, Darren O'Connor, and Lloyd Bridges. It centers on the platonic friendship between two teenagers as one attempts to help the other get an abortion. The film premiered in New York City on January 20, 1972 and was entered into competition at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival.
Kulik had difficulties in marketing the film due to its controversial subject; newspaper advertisements forbid the use of the word "abortion" in promotions. The film received praise from some critics for its frank, matter-of-fact approach to abortion.
