A Little Dated but Still Fun
|
I will admit that I did not really like Hal Ashby's Shampoo when it came out. Thirty-three years havealtered my opinion slightly but it's still not a favorite.
Warren Beatty plays George Roundy a Las Angeles hairdresser who yearns for his own salon and becomes entangled in the lives of four different women and the man who is somehow connected to all of them. In order to get his loan George approaches businessman Lester Carp (Jack Warden). The problem is that George is sleeping with Lester's wife Felicia (Lee Grant), Lester's girlfriend Jackie (Julie Christie) and Lester's daughter Lorna (Carrie Fisher). George is also in the middle of a failing relationship with his own girlfriend Jill(Goldie Hawn). The confusion results in a sex comedy that AFI considers one of the 100 most funny but the movie has lost quite a bit of its edge over the years.
The disc I viewed was bare bones with no extras. Columbia's transfer was kind of grainy and soft and the mono sound while adequate to the souce material was a little tinny. Watch it as a piece of 1970's nostalgia and as a classic but don't expect greatness. |
