Summary:
A day in the life of George, a Beverly Hills hairdresser and Lothario who runs around town on the eve of the 1968 presidential election trying to make heads or tails of his financial and romantic entanglements. His attempts to scrape together the money to open his own salon are continually sidetracked by the distractions presented by his lovers. The carousel of doomed relationships is an essential "70s" farce, a sharp look back at the sexual politics and self-absorption of the preceding decade.
