Video trailer for the 1971
Mike Nichols comedy-drama
'Carnal Knowledge' starring
Jack Nicholson, Candice
Bergen, Art Garfunkel and
Ann-Margret. The film traces
the sexual and emotional
confusion of two men from
their Amherst College days in
the fifties through the
Kennedy sixties, up to the
Vietnam era. Jonathan (Jack
Nicholson), a successful tax
attorney and Sandy (Art
Garfunkel), a physician,
personify two extremes of
self-delusion and
self-aggrandizement: Jonathan
makes the mistake of thinking
sex is love, and embarks on a
lifetime of sexual conquest;
Sandy dedicates himself to the
pursuit on an idealized woman
and the dreamy spiritual
completeness to be found
therein. In Bobbie
(Ann-Margret) Jonathan finds a
partner whose masochism
compliments his selfishness
and emotional ambivalence.
Jonathan does not want her to
hold a job, but neither does
he like the fact that she
spends all day in bed
sleeping, or watching TV.
Sandy falls in love with his
first collage romance, Susan
(Candice Bergen); they marry
and have children. But Sandy
is haunted by the fear that he
was too hasty, even though he
and Susan lead a happy
domestic life and strive to
reinvigorate their sex life by
making love 'in all seven
rooms' of their apartment.
With Jonathan's help, he
enters into an affair with
Cindy (Cynthia O'Neal), a
tough professional woman who
turns Sandy off because she is
too overbearing. Written by
