Some movies hit a nerve with the general public when released.
Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice is such a movie - and critics and audiences alike adored it, it even got multiple Academy Award nominations.
All the way back in 1969.
In 2023 this movie is, well, frankly; Dated.
An slightly amusing, very talky, time capsule, if you will.
But not much more.
So, strap on for a trip to mainstream America in 1969 - yes, mainstream, since the events in the movie had already played out in real life a few years earlier.
This movie was cashing in on the whole flower power, hippie culture, which, by this time, in reality, was all but over (and died completely in December of 1969 at Altamont)
Cactus Flower, released the same year, is another example of this - among many others.
