...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.

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...
