Shampoo

Shampoo (1975) is a Hollywood satire-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Hal Ashby and star-producer Warren Beatty set the whole story on a single day — Election Day, November 1968 — as Nixon takes the White House and Beverly Hills keeps right on partying.

George Roundy is a hairdresser who treats his client list as a personal dating pool. He's sleeping with Felicia (Lee Grant, who took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress), juggling his girlfriend Jill (Goldie Hawn), and still tangled up with Jackie (Julie Christie), who happens to be the mistress of Lester — the one man in the room willing to back George's dream of opening his own salon. By the time the election results come in, every relationship George thought he was managing has caved in around him.

Beatty co-wrote the script with Robert Towne, and the film's sharpest move is never playing George as a villain — he's charming right up until he isn't, and that's the whole point. Four Oscar nominations in total. Stream Shampoo (1975) online on iFILM.
