In this send-up of the sexually freewheeling '60s, Warren Beatty stars as hair stylist George Roundy. The action takes place in 1968, with Richard Nixon about to win the presidency. In addition to making his clients look and feel fabulous, George is busy having
affairs with three women, all of whom are in some way connected to the rich older man, Lester Carr, from whom George is trying to get money to open his own salon. And his escapades with those women -- Lester's wife, Felicia (Lee Grant), Lester's mistress, Jackie Shawn (Julie Christie) and the daughter of Lester and Felicia, Lorna (Carrie Fisher) -- are in addition to his relationship with his girlfriend, Jill (Goldie Hawn). All of them except for Jill are at an election night party where the lifestyle of the stylist may finally prove to be too much.
