The 1969 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice explores honesty and fidelity in marriage, focusing on two couples with differing views on relationships.
Bob and Carol, played by Robert Culp and Natalie Wood, embrace complete honesty, even about their extramarital affairs. Their conservative friends, Ted and Alice, are hesitant but eventually agree to try wife-swapping.
Alice (Dyan Cannon) pushes the idea, leading to a brief experiment in swapping partners. However, what initially seems liberating soon unravels, highlighting the complexities of relationships and the limits of radical honesty.
