In the 1960s, Natalie Wood made a splash at a pool party, looking absolutely radiant in a bikini.
In the 1969 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, the themes of fidelity and truth in marriage were explored in a light-hearted yet thought-provoking way. The movie centers around two couples, one more traditional and the other more adventurous, who eventually entertain the idea of swapping partners. The dynamic shifts dramatically when Natalie Wood, playing the alluring Carol in a vibrant paisley bikini, steps into the picture.
Carol is determined to open up to her husband Bob (Robert Culp) about all aspects of their lives, including their affairs. Ted (Elliott Gould) and Alice (Dyan Cannon) aren’t particularly keen on the idea, but Alice pushes for a partner swap in a thought-provoking exchange of perspectives. Though the experiment initially seems promising, it eventually unravels.
