Natalie Wood at a pool party in the 1960s, looking gorgeous in a bikini. In the 1969 film *Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice*, the themes of fidelity and honesty in marriage are explored, culminating in a more adventurous couple attempting to swap partners with their more conventional friends. The situation becomes even more intriguing when you realize that Natalie Wood, the alluring woman in a paisley bikini, is part of it.
Wood played Carol, a woman determined to confess everything to her husband Bob (Robert Culp), including their affairs.
Ted (Elliott Gould) and Alice (Dyan Cannon) were not entirely on board with the idea, but Alice insists on swapping partners during one of those intellectually charged exchanges typical of movie scenarios. It works temporarily before it all falls apart.
