Shampoo charts a day in the life of Warren Beatty’s smooth talking ladies man, as he tries to secure financing for his own salon and sleeps around with his clientele. A deceptively intelligent film that can be enjoyed both as a broad farce and as a more nuanced satire of the well intentioned idealism of American counter-culture clashing with capitalist aspirations and triggering it’s own downfall. Beatty has rarely been better than he is here, nailing the mix of charm and sleaze, and he is aided hugely by Christie, Hawn and Grant in excellent supporting roles.

As usual a film I have not watched in years. I now remember how good this film was and am glad I now have it in my collection.
