Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by Paul Mazursky
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Columbia TriStar)

Mazursky's scathing indictment of "free love" follows married couple Robert Culp and Natalie Wood after a weekend at the "Institute", where they are encouraged to let out their feelings, at any price. He tells her about an affair, and is somewhat shocked when she accepts it rather than getting jealous. However, when she has one of her own, he just about explodes. They try to extend this attitude to their best friends, with disastrous results.
