Name: Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice / Blume in Love
Genre: Comedy,Romance

BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE, 1969, Sony Repertory, 101 min. Dir. Paul Mazursky. A ground-breaking, hilarious and still-pointed satire of sexual hang-ups in America. "We came here for an orgy, didn’t we?" says repressed housewife Dyan Cannon, just before she joins Natalie Wood and husbands Eliott Gould and Robert Culp in some classic, late 1960’s wife-swapping, hot-tubbing action. BLUME IN LOVE, 1973, Warner Bros., 115 min. One of director/writer Paul Mazursky’s most rewarding films. Divorce lawyer George Segal and social-worker wife Susan Anspach grow apart as the 1960’s counterculture makes them increasingly aware of their shallow lifestyle. However, Segal refuses to give up on winning back Anspach from new, easy-going hippie beau Kris Kristofferson (in a gentle, hilarious performance). A warmly funny, insightful reflection on the nature of conjugal bonds, true love and spousal devotion.
