Movie Reviews of Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice
Movie Review: Wild House
Summary: 3 Stars
Strangely enough I got this DVD because I recently purchased a house in Hamilton New Zealand that was built by a local builder who was inspired by the Spanish style house in the movie. He built it in 1974 for him and his family. He and his wife seperated in the early eighties (probably had swinger parties, which as was shown in the movie always end in tears)Anyway I thought the movie was quite funny and the house is as groovy today as it was back then.
Cheers
Summary of Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice
Nominated for four Oscars ? BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE is the comedy classic from filmmaker Paul Mazursky (Down and Out in Beverly Hills) that hilariously captures the sexual revolution of the late sixties. Bob (Robert Culp) and Carol (Natalie Wood) are a sophisticated California couple who after attending a free-thinking group retreat decide to push the boundaries of their marriage by experimenting with outside affairs. Ted (Elliot Gould) and Alice (Dyan Cannon) are a more traditional couple who always enjoy hearing about the provocative adventures of their best friends until they are invited to join them - in bed!System Requirements:Running Time: 105 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?R UPC:?043396011441 Manufacturer No:?01144While its particulars remain rooted in the sexual revolution of the late 1960s, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice is remarkably timeless as a classic comedy of manners. Making an impressive, high-profile directorial debut after success as a screenwriter, Paul Mazursky took the pulse of California society better than anyone, especially with this well-cast, sharply observant comedy that begins when sophisticated couple Bob and Carol (Robert Culp, Natalie Wood) attend a weekend retreat that opens their eyes to the possibilities of open marriage and mutual acceptance of extramarital affairs. When they reveal their newfound liberties to straightlaced couple Ted and Alice (Elliott Gould, Dyan Cannon), the subtle, behavioral richness of the largely improvisational screenplay (by Mazursky and Larry Tucker) rises to the surface, conveyed through the kind of natural rhythms and pauses that were dramatically in vogue in the fast-changing Hollywood of 1969. The film hasn't lost any of its punch, perhaps because American sexual politics have returned to the conservatism that existed before Bob and Carol emerged as the signature comedy of the swinging sixties. The absence of the late Natalie Wood is the only drawback to the DVD's excellent commentary, which reunites Mazursky, Culp, Gould, and Cannon in a casual atmosphere of humorous reminiscence. --Jeff Shannon
