All-Star Classic Comedies Double Feature (California Suite / Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice)

Movie / Show Details

CALIFORNIA SUITE (1978, Rated PG, 103 Minutes): CALIFORNIA SUITE is the story of five couples who have come to the Beverly Hills Hotel for diverse reasons and who must all confront some rather amusing personal dilemmas. Sidney Cochran (Michael Caine) becomes the victim of wife Diana’s (Maggie Smith) outrage when she misses winning an Oscar. (Smith won a real Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in this role). Marvin Michaels (Walter Matthau) must somehow explain to his wife (Elaine May) how a sexy blonde got in his bed. Wise-cracking Hannah Warren (Jane Fonda) is uneasy about her ex-husband’s (Alan Alda) new California lifestyle. And Dr. Chauncey Gump (Richard Pryor) must contend with his friend’s (Bill Cosby) increasingly imposing manner. Great fun!
BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE (1969, Rated R, 105 Minutes): After the ultra-sophisticated couple, Bob (a filmmaker) and wife, Carol attends a secluded therapy group (only to observe) they become modernized in their sexual thinking and behavior. Can Bob and Carol’s new thinking rub off onto best friends, Ted and Alice?
