Oh Carol, Carol! At the end of the 1969 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, which tackled the themes of honesty and loyalty in marriage, there was a more adventurous couple attempting to trade wives with their more conventional friends. When you find out that the attractive woman in a paisley bikini, Natalie Wood, is involved, the stakes suddenly seem a little greater.
Wood played Carol, a lady determined to confess everything, even their illicit activities, to her husband Bob (Robert Culp).
Although Alice (Dyan Cannon) insisted on switching partners in one of those real-life movie-world cerebral exchanges, Ted (Elliott Gould) wasn’t too thrilled of the idea. It functions for a short duration before breaking down.
