Oh Carol! The 1969 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice delved into the complexities of honesty and fidelity within marriage, ultimately leading to a bold attempt at wife-swapping between a liberated couple and their more conservative friends. When you see Natalie Wood, the sultry beauty in a paisley bikini, involved, the stakes instantly feel higher. Wood portrayed Carol, who had vowed to be completely honest with her husband, Bob (played by Robert Culp) — even when it came to their extramarital affairs. Their friends, Ted (Elliott Gould) and Alice (Dyan Cannon), weren’t as comfortable with the idea. However, in a moment of movie-world candor, Alice ends up insisting on swapping partners. It works — for a moment, and then it all falls apart.
