Plot Summary

Documentary-filmmaker Bob Sanders and his wife Carol attend a group-therapy session that serves as the backdrop for the film's opening scenes. Returning to their Los Angeles home, the newly "enlightened" couple chastise their closest friends, Ted and Alice, for not coming to grips with their true feelings. Bob insists that everyone "feel" rather than intellectualize their emotions, and Carol pronounces "that's beautiful" after anyone says anything even remotely personal. Ted and Alice humor their friends, but a good-natured sexual tension is obviously at work among the foursome. Written by filmfactsman

Edit
Trivia Natalie Wood's first movie in three years. It could have been her comeback, but she did not capitalize on its success at all. Shot in the fall of 1968, this would be Wood's last acting job for almost five years, until the summer of 1973, when she worked on a made-for-television film called The Affair (1973). She didn't make another feature until Peeper (1975), a gap of six years. Wood more or less retired after Penelope (1966), when she was just 28. See more »
