Natalie Wood was best known for her childhood role in "Miracle on 34th Street". And don't forget the sexual revolution film, "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice". I'm this film it is quite similar, only with morals to back it up.
George Segal and Natalie Wood play Jeff and Mari Thompson, a married couple with three boys. They have friends who are married. Then suddenly, each one they knew have separated or divorced. And they began to question their own relationship.
Their marriage is tested when Maria's friend Barbara(Valerie Harper) comes into town, and hits on Jeff. Knowing to be very faithful to his wife, he would brush her off. Until one night, he did the deed. After getting a STD, Mari decided to do the same.
The only thing they could get back together is with a friend's birthday party.
This movie has got a great cast and great scenes. Dom Deluise was great. And I couldn't picture Valerie Harper as a blonde. She did look great though.
And my favorite scene was the birthday surprises. Taking Jeff to his hangout, and flashing him when he was unaware of the fur coat suspicion.
It's a very good movie, I enjoyed every moment of it.
3.5 out of 5 stars
