...There are only four non-wax exhibits in the museum. The first of these is a mock-up of the graveyard in Dodge City. Then there's a huge collection of rifles, pistols, and other guns kept in glass cases. Also, right after the O. K. Corral comes a display of all 211 different kinds of barbed wire there ever were.

...Mock religion. This should preferably be the Catholic religion, since it is distinctly more theatrical, and not terribly retaliatory these days. Avoid knocking Judaism. After all, the bulk of New York theatergoers are Jewish, and if unduly nettled they might complain to B'nai B'rith. Protestants, like other apathetic majorities, may be savaged at will.

...Carol & Ted & Alice is a sniggering Hollywood send-up of infidelity, wife-swapping and other variations on the theme of modern marriage. For Writers Paul Mazursky (who also directed) and Larry Tucker (who produced), satire is more often a matter of condescension than wit. These swimming-pool Swifts smugly mock a situation that they simultaneously exploit. Bob (Robert Gulp) is a documentary-film maker who, after telling his wife Carol (Natalie Wood) that he has had a casual affair with another woman, listens with surprised gratification as she begs, "Let me hear about it again. I feel closer...
