Shampoo (1975) Shampoo

Shampoo ★★½ 1975 (R) A satire of morals (and lack thereof) set in Southern California, concerning a successful hairdresser (Beatty) and the many women in his life. A notable scene with Julie Christie is set at a 1968 presidential election-night gathering. Fisher's screen debut, only one year before "Star Wars" made her famous. Has a healthy glow in places and a perky bounce, but too many split ends. 112m/C VHS, Wide. Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, Goldie Hawn, Jack Warden, Lee Grant, Tony Bill, Carrie Fisher, William Castle, Howard Hesseman; Director: Hal Ashby; Writer: Warren Beatty, Robert Towne; Cameo: John Barry.
