Goldie Hawn seems as much to have admitted that she took her role in $ where she got to co-star with Warren Beatty for a chance to get a free trip to Germany and specifically Hamburg. As it turned out it was an average caper film which did show Hamburg off to the world.
One thing I was curious about was satisfied. In its day Hamburg was known as a place for good times and a lot of $ was shot in the famous Reeperbahn district a place where many travelers partied. If you remember Ship Of Fools, the Nazi favoring publisher Jose Ferrer entertains the passengers with a German ballad On The Reeperbahn a rather lusty number. Now I finally get to see what he loved.
Beatty is a security expert and Hawn is a call girl and Beatty works for a bank in Hamburg where many criminals hide cash of all kinds laundering their dirty money. Cash and other illegal items as well. Specifically drug peddling Arthur Brauss, mob lawyer Robert Webber, and army sergeant Scott Brady who has a lucrative smuggling sideline.
I will say Beatty's plan was both devastatingly simple and took advantage of his position. You'll have to see what it is. Goldie's charms also come into play.
$ is not the greatest film for either of the stars, but their fans should be happy.
