Movie Description
Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn star in this high-spirited caper about a kittenish prostitute (Hawn) and a mild-mannered security expert (Beatty) who commit what should be the perfect crime. They break into three safe-deposit boxes stowed inside a German bank and steal more than a million dollars from an assortment of high-level crooks. Unfortunately for them, the crooks get wind of the theft, and the result is a wild chase that takes the pair across Germany with gamblers, black marketeers, and drug traffickers on their tail. Director Richard Brooks serves up a stylish and atmospheric vision of after-hours Hamburg, ripe with exotic dancers, drug smuggling, and kinky sex. Goldie Hawn scampers and struts across the screen while Beatty poses cool and calculating, orchestrating the heist of a lifetime.
