Robert Culp as Bob Sanders shares a kiss Natalie Wood as Carol Sanders in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice against an orange background
The Big Picture As the 1960s transitioned into the 1970s, America experienced a cultural revolution the likes of which it hasn't seen since. The Civil Rights Movement, the sexual revolution, and the proliferation of drug use completely upended the normal order of American society in the first half of the 20th century.
What's fascinating about B&C&T&A, which Mazursky co-wrote with Larry Tucker, is that it finds its characters dealing with a transitional period in their lives as the country was dealing with its own radical transformation. Born in the 1930s, Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice are too young to be fully part of the greatest generation and too old to be considered baby boomers. They're stuck somewhere in between, both fascinated by the revolution of the 1960s and terrified of it.
Paul Mazursky Explores Women's Liberation Through Sexuality Close Marital infidelity was nothing new in the 1960s, but what did change were certain attitudes about it. While affairs were usually carried out in private, the era of free love led to many couples straying with their partner's consent, with some even choosing to forgo the traditional strictures of marriage. Of course, as in all things, there existed double standards for men and women.
