Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNatalie 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.
- GoofsWhen Ted is in the pool talking to Bob, he says "I called home to make sure the kids were okay," using the plural "kids" - but they only have one child.
- Quotes
Ted Henderson: First, we'll have an orgy. Then we'll go see Tony Bennett.

Psychological partner-swapping that drags on with no payoff
Even though Natalie Wood stars in this film, it's not very good. It chronicles the healthy descent of four friends who fall into a cavalcade of swinging and partner-swapping to help their marriage after attending a secluded psychotherapy course. As everyone rejuvenates their sexual thinking and behavior, other problems rear their ugly heads, and the four realize only love is needed to revitalize a marriage.
It's pretty gutsy material for the time, and I'm fairly sure you wouldn't see a film this brave come from a major studio with big-name stars today. Still, it's just not very good! I didn't care for any of the characters, especially Robert Culp's portrayal of Bob Sanders and Dyan Cannon's whiny rendering of Alice Henderson, and the story just dragged on and on without any closure or action. I'd wait for this one to come on late at night when there's absolutely nothing else on!
