Oh Carol! A more free-spirited couple attempting to trade wives with their more conventional friends was depicted at the climax of the 1969 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, which examined commitment and honesty in marriage. Finding out that Natalie Wood, the attractive woman in a paisley bikini, is involved raises the stakes considerably.
Wood portrayed Carol, a woman who had made up her mind to tell her husband Bob (Robert Culp) everything, even about their extramarital affairs.
Ted (Elliott Gould) and Alice (Dyan Cannon) weren’t too fond of the concept, but Alice demands to switch partners in one of those real-life movie-world intellectual exchanges. It works for a little while before failing.
