Globe Monday, November 10, 1969 18 Boston Evening FOR WOMEN ONLY Young aclors sparkle etc' spicy, but bright Stay on the pill I'm 4 "or rfr. -im i existence. A brawny glad-hander instills in them his I own brand of propaganda which has to do with, "un- derstanding," "love" and "honesty" as practiced be- yond the customary stand- ards of convention. They persuade the doubtful Ted and Alice that the idea is workable. There are a couple of in- DEAR MRS.

Stay on the pill. It's made to order for women your age who have all the family they desire. Your mother, no doubt, means well, but she is incorrect. You will undergo the menopause at about the same age with or wtthout the pill. With the pill, you simply avoid many of the distressing symptoms.

Paul Mazursky wrote together. Nobody is expected io take this as a moralistic drama. It's designed for laughs, and if there is a lesson, brought home in the very last scene, the entertainment is still what you take home with you. My compliments must be paid first to Turner and Mazursky, as the constructors of the clever story, but then come the laurel wreaths for acting achievement, and they should go to the ladies, Natalie Wood and Miss Cannon, for their deftness, charm and comedy sense, and to Messrs Robert Culp and Gould for their assurance, physical attractiveness and impeccable characterizations. It's a group of young people we'd all like to know off the screen, as well as on, although at times they might be a bit trying when your Establishment relatives came to call.

The film opens with Bob (Culp) and Carol (Natalie) at a session for untran-quil misfits who want to find the secret of a happy What is most intriguing is the fact that a lot of current attitudes are ingeniously satirized. For instance, the love-for-your neighbor notion has its pants kidded off in a restaurant scene. It seems that not everyone, including a most competent waiter, wants to discuss love and honesty when serving dinner. Nor do husbands and wives have their romantic urges at exactly the same time. As Ted and Alice, Elliott Gould and Dyan Cannon have one of the frankest marital impasses that has been shown on the screen.

It is the kind of quarrel plenty of married people may recognize, even if they wouldn't admit to it publicly. Much has been made in the advertisements about "swapping husbands," but this is handled in such an amusing manner that the film is scarcely a candidate for the Washington Street "flesh" theaters. considerable wit in the story, which Producer Larry Tucker and Director By Marjory Adams Globe Staff Bright, vivacious- shocking, and with a surprisingly moral ending (if you have the perception to realize it). "Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice" is one of those "on the verge" films that causes voices to rise and tempers to blaze. The people involved with the film insist that nobody can watch it without taking sides.

Personally, I found it an exciting example of the new morality in cinema terms, intelligently and colorfully acted by a quartet of attractive players. I don't think the characters themselves showed too much common sense, and I grew a little tired with the "now" theory that going to bed with your husband or the husband of some one else is going to change your life for the better. If the exponents of the idea would only study morals and manners through the centuries they wouldn't think that this is such a panacea. SUBURBAN LOBSTERS $4 1 395 SM01N $395 DEAR DR. CURTIS: My mother says the birth control pills I've been taking the past five years are just holding back the menopause.

I am 46 and have four children, the youngest of which is five years old. I honestly can't face the prospect of another baby at my age, and yet I keep worrying about this menopause thing. What should I do? Mrs. W. K.

It is plesant to see new faces on the screen or faces which are not very familiar. Natalie Wood had been absent from pictures so long she becomes a discover ery all over again. She's good. So is Elliott Gould, who is a lot more important oq nn nntor than mere ly being the former husband of the latest idol, Barbra Streisand. THEATERS MALDEN STAIRCASE gZSSr illlV IsW-lill I1T.
