I just watched this again myself, for the first time since 1970. I was surprised at how well I remembered it -- not just the overall thrust, but many individual moments.Reza wrote:Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice (Paul Mazursky, 1969) 7/10
What stood out for me this time was how good Dyan Cannon was. Possibly because, uptight as she was, she came closest to embodying the audience's "are you people serious?" responses. Gould was also, as remembered, funny. Wood looked great, but didn't do anything special, nor did Culp.
The film showed Mazursky/Tucker's roots in revue comedy. The through-thread was pretty weak; we seemed to jump from one Nichols/May sketch to the next. But, given how funny much of it was -- particularly the Cannon/Gould bedroom scene -- that was a limitation with which I could live.
