$ (DOLLARS)

USA | 1971 | DCP | 119 min.
Director: Richard Brooks
Cast: Warren Beatty, Goldie Hawn, Gert Frobe

In this delicious hippie-chic heist thriller, Beatty plays a bank security consultant who teams up with happy hooker Hawn to steal money from an assortment of bad guys who are all using a Hamburg bank’s safety deposit boxes to stash their illicit cash. Featuring wonderful support from Gert Fröbe and a handful of other great character actors, incredible German location cinematography, and a fabulously funky score from Quincy Jones, Dollars is a delight — and a clear inspiration for Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s series.
